As of CAS 3.1, CAS builds exclusively with the Maven 2 Build Management System. This system provides a common build and directory structure across all projects that use Maven 2 and defines common goals that can be applied to any project type (JAR, WAR, EAR, etc.).
Building CAS
In your CAS_HOME, you can type "mvn package install". This will create all of the jar and war files for the CAS modules. Alternatively, you can enter any of the CAS_HOME/{module} sub directories and execute "mvn package install" to generate just that particular JAR or WAR.

Once you've configured CAS, you can run "mvn package" to generate the WAR file.
