Build from Source
To build the red5 jars, execute the following on the command line:
mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true install
This will create the jars in the "target" directory of the workspace; this will also skip the unit tests.
To package everything up in an assembly (tarball/zip):
mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean package -P assemble
To build a milestone tarball:
mvn -Dmilestone.version=1.0.7-M1 clean package -Pmilestone
Eclipse
- Create the eclipse project files, execute this within red5-server directory.
mvn eclipse:eclipse
- Import the project into Eclipse.
- Access the right-click menu and select "Configure" and then "Convert to Maven Project".
- Now the project will build automatically, if you have the maven plugin installed.

关于这个“特供版Flash”的一些异常行为，在六月底有网友@
仅仅在FreeBuf上，就已经有大量关于介绍或者利用Flash漏洞的文章，也因此导致Office、Chrome等越来越多的主流软件开始远离Flash。另外，利用Flash Cookies来进行用户数据跟踪已经成为各大广告联盟推广普遍使用的手段，对于用户隐私来说也是一颗不定时炸弹。
最早开始抵触Flash的就是苹果，从乔布斯时代开始，到YouTube开始摈弃Flash，目前国内爱奇艺、腾讯/优酷等主流视频网站也已经开始支持并默认使用HTML5，但却依然没有彻底摈弃。本身目前大部分视频网站依然没有实现较好的盈利，而放弃Flash 意味着可能放弃一部分用户，或者说被迫用户转向其他竞争对手网站。另外，广告也是支持Flash一直坚持到现在的重要原因，放弃Flash，并不能给他们带来利益上的好处。
