Commons Logging uses Ant as a build system and Maven for documentation only.

To build the full website, run "maven site". The result will be in "target/docs". You must be online and using JDK 1.4 or higher to successfully complete this target.

Further details can be found in the commons build instructions.

The complete release distribution is created by the dist target. Note that both a 1.2 JRE and a 1.4 JRE are needed to create the release distribution as well as all optional dependencies. See build.properties.sample for more details.
