Many Maven build options are available, for instance, you might like to use following options :
-
To skip tests:
mvn install -DskipTests
-
Offline use:
mvn install -o
-
Build really fast with 2 threads per cpu core
mvn install -o -DskipTests -T 2C
Please refer to the maven documentation for additional options, Maven: The Complete Reference
Maven profiles are used to enable additional build configuration or optional modules:
mvn install -Pdatastorage-s3
Some build profiles are activated with specific properties, such as release
to build release bundles:
mvn install -Drelease
The release

, datastorage-jcloud
, datastorage-cmis
and the release
module to produce zip
bundles for distribution.
