How to build pentaho-platform from Github

[Samruddhi Singhal]

Hi All,

I have to build pentaho-platform from source on my ubuntu machine.

Things that I have found out  -

      1. There is one post - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16914886/building-pentaho-platform-from-github . According to the answers, I can build pentaho-platform using steps - 

• Copy file dev_build.xml to build.xml
• Execute: ant dev-resolve
• Execute: ant dev-build 

      2. I have also checked on the http://ci.pentaho.com/, there are jenkins job for individual modules e.g. 

• pentaho-platform-api
• pentaho-platform-core
• pentaho-platform-scheduler
• pentaho-platform-extensions 

       So instead of building complete pentaho-platform, should I build all its modules separately ?

       Taking some reference from the link http://wiki.pentaho.com/display/ServerDoc2x/Pentaho+Platform+7.0, build steps could be - 

• Install jdk-8, ant, maven, git
  
• Clone the pentaho-platform code from github repository
• Set environment variables.
• Go to individual folder (api, build-utils, etc) and execute "ant clean-all resolve publish-local"

Anyone please guide me what are the exact steps to build pentaho-platform.

Thanks,

Samruddhi
