If you want to build the project without running the tests, you need to pull down a clone of the RESTEasy repository and run:
$ ./mvnw clean install -DskipTests=true
If you want to build the project with testings run, you may need to specify a profile to use, and may need to configure the WildFly version you want to run the tests with. Here is an example:
$ SERVER_VERSION=27.0.0.Final ./mvnw clean -fae -Dserver.version=$SERVER_VERSION install
