Include the red5-parent in your pom.xml in the dependencyManagement section

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
      <dependency>
          <groupId>org.red5</groupId>
          <artifactId>red5-parent</artifactId>
          <version>${red5.version}</version>
          <type>pom</type>
      </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>  

in addition to any other Red5 projects in the dependencies section

  <dependency>
      <groupId>org.red5</groupId>
      <artifactId>red5-server</artifactId>
      <version>${red5.version}</version>
      <type>jar</type>
  </dependency>

As of release 1.2.2 the target JDK is now JDK 11 and the Maven poms use the toolchain plugin.

To build the red5 jars, execute the following on the command line:

mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true install

This will create the jars in the "target" directory of the workspace; this will also skip the unit tests.

To package everything up in an assembly (tarball/zip):

mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean package -P assemble

To build a milestone tarball:

mvn -Dmilestone.version=1.0.7-M1 clean package -Pmilestone

1. Create the eclipse project files, execute this within red5-server directory.

mvn eclipse:eclipse

2. Import the project into Eclipse.
3. Access the right-click menu and select "Configure" and then "Convert to Maven Project".
4. Now the project will build automatically, if you have the maven plugin installed.
