Using Maven:

Note:Using Maven the first build will require connection to the internet to download required dependiences to your local Maven repository. Occassionally, these remote repository can become over burdened resulting in failure to complete the build. If this happens restart the build again. Once a complete build is achieved you can use the -o option on the mvn command to do offline builds.
