Building a Component – the “build“ Command 

Use

With this command, you trigger the build of a single development component (DC).

Prerequisites

·        The DC must be locally available, which means that it either was loaded from the DTR or exists only locally.

·        All used DCs must be available either (pre-installed) as archives or as source files. If they are available as source code, they must have been built at least once, so that the used JAR files are available.
