Building Mensa

The mensa directory contains a Maven project file (pom.xml) that will download dependent jar files, build the Mensa jar file and testing utilities, generate javadocs, and run regression tests.

Once Java and Maven have been installed, issue the following commands to build the Mensa jar file, run regression tests, and generate the API documentation.

$ cd mensa
$ mvn clean package javadoc:javadoc

The jar file is placed in ./target. The API Java doc is placed in ./target/site/apidocs.

You may also run portions of the build process using more specific Maven commands:

• mvn clean -- remove all build artifacts
• mvn package -- build the Mensa jar file and run regression tests.
• mvn javadoc:javadoc -- build the javadoc documentation
