Building Sentry
Building Sentry requires the following tools:
- Apache Maven 3.2.5+ (Might hit issues with pentaho library with older maven versions)
- Java JDK7 (can't access TBase errors with JDK8)
To compile Sentry, run:
mvn install -DskipTests
To run Sentry tests, run:
mvn test
To build a distribution, run:
mvn install
The final Sentry distribution artifacts will be in $project/sentry-dist/target/.
