mvn clean install -P allModules,unpacked,mysql -DskipTests=true -Dwicket.configuration=DEVELOPMENT

After modifications are made you can run "quick" build: 


mvn install -P allModules,quick,mysql -pl openmeetings-web,openmeetings-server -Dwicket.configuration=DEVELOPMENT

Any number of projects can be specified during build: 


mvn install -P allModules,quick,mysql -pl openmeetings-util,openmeetings-db,openmeetings-core,openmeetings-install,openmeetings-service,openmeetings-web,openmeetings-server,openmeetings-webservice -Dwicket.configuration=DEVELOPMENT
Working behind a proxy: If you are sitting behind a proxy you should add some proxy settings before starting the build process. 
git config --global http.proxy http://proxyuser:proxypwd@proxy.server.com:8080
  • change proxyuser to your proxy user
  • change proxypwd to your proxy password
  • change proxy.server.com to the URL of your proxy server
  • change 8080 to the proxy port configured on your proxy server
