Build

Execute the following command():

> ./gradlew build

This will build three artifacts: print-servlet-xxx.war, print-lib.jar, print-standalone.jar

The build also builds the documentation in the docs/build/site folder. To deploy the documentation it should simply be copied to the gh-pages branch and then committed github will automatically build the updated site at: http://mapfish.github.io/mapfish-print/#/overview

If you only want to build the docs simply run

> ./gradlew docs:build

or run build in the docs directory

Deploy

The following command will build and upload all artifacts to the maven central repository.

> ./gradlew uploadArchives -DsshPassphrase=...

To use in Eclipse
