Apache Stratos team uses Git as their source control system and Maven 3 as the build tool. Follow the instructions below to be able to contribute your code to Apache Stratos as a non-committer.

Step 1 - Mirror the Apache Stratos Git repository

Set up a mirror of the original Apache Stratos Git repository by forking it. The Git repository can be found at the following location https://github.com/apache/stratos/.

Step 2 - Build using Maven

1. Navigate to the directory that you checked out the Stratos source distribution.

   cd <LOCAL_FOLDER_NAME>/<STRATOS_SOURCE_HOME>

   For example: cd myLocalRepo/<STRATOS_SOURCE_HOME>

2. Use Maven to build the source.

   Command	Description
   mvn clean install	To build the source distribution of the release.
   mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true	To build source distribution, without running any of the unit tests.
   mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true -o	To build source distribution, without running any of the unit tests, in offline mode. This can be done only if you've already built the source at least once.
