## Building from source
Each module of the *Spring Batch Extensions* project is hosted as an independent project with its own release cycle.
All modules are built with [Maven][]. The only prerequisites are [Git][] and JDK 1.8+.
### Check out the sources
`git clone git://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch-extensions.git`
### Go into the directory of a specific module
`cd spring-batch-extensions/module-name`
### Compile and test, build all jars
`mvn clean package`
### Install the modules jars into your local Maven repository
`mvn install`
## Import sources into your IDE
### Using Eclipse / STS
When using [Spring Tool Suite] you can directly import Maven based projects:
`File -> Import -> Maven Project`
Alternatively, you can generate the Eclipse metadata (.classpath and .project files) using Maven:
`mvn eclipse:eclipse`
Once complete, you may then import the projects into Eclipse as usual:
`File -> Import -> Existing projects into workspace`
### Using IntelliJ IDEA
When using [Intellij IDEA] you can directly import Maven based projects:
`File -> Open` then select the directory of the module.
Alternatively, you can generate the Intellij IDEA metadata (.iml and .ipr files) using Maven:
`mvn idea:idea`
Once complete, you may then import the projects into Intellij IDEA as usual.
