Compile from source

[bearson]

Hello dear community. I`m new and only start with this app.
I found on GitHub and  tried to compile .war from source. But can`t do that.
I`m using Intellij Idea, but can`t find - which folder from GitHub need to compile. I found a lot of pom.xml.
Can you help - which steps need to do?
And one more question - whe I dowload Activity - I found two .war: activity-explorer and activity rest. For what each of them need?
And if I`ll plan to use Activity with external servers - which version of Activity need to compile?

Thanks a lot for help. And sorry for a lot of questions.

For what each of them need?

explorer - web application with the UI (it uses rest interfaces too)
rest - activiti rest api web app.

And if I`ll plan to use Activity with external servers - which version of Activity need to compile?

I do not understand the question. Use the one which passes through your integration tests.

Martin

thanks, I already understood it. Firstly I thought, that in folder modules need to compile each module alone.
And does Activiti can posibilities for edit bpmn20.xml?
I found how open it in "Manage"->"Deployment".
And thanks a lot for help and answer.

Yes, activiti has support for visual BPMN modeling.
