Guide to building Continuum
Why would I want to build Continuum?
You might want to build Continuum yourself for one of two reasons:
- To build the source release of Continuum
- to try out a bleeding edge feature or bugfix (issues can be found in JIRA), but you can try our SNAPSHOTs: http://vmbuild.apache.org/
- to fix a problem you are having and submit a patch to the development team.
Note that for releases, you may also make use of pre-built binaries.
