Building SCM-Manager from source

Software Requirements

• JDK 1.7 or higher (download)
• Maven 3 or higher (download)
• Mercurial (download)

Build SCM-Manager 1.x from source

• • Note:** if you use the "package" phase rather than the "install" phase, the standalone version may include an old version of the WAR file in the distribution bundle, rather than the version you just built.

After mvn finished, the war bundle is located at **scm-webapp/target/scm-webapp.war** and the standalone version is located at **scm-server/target/scm-server-app**.

You can also start a dev server using `mvn jetty:run-war -f scm-webapp`. SCMM is served at http://localhost:8081/scm.

REST

Docs:

• Create the documentation: `mvn -f scm-webapp compile -P doc`
• The documentation can be found at scm-webapp/target/restdocs

Note that if using jetty (see above) you have to access http://localhost:8081/scm once, to trigger creation of the `scmadmin` user. Then you can access the REST api directly http://localhost:8081/scm/api/rest
