+== Build APEX
+
+The examples in this document assume that the APEX source repositories are cloned to:
+
+- Unix, Cygwin: `/usr/local/src/apex`
+- Windows: `C:\dev\apex`
+- Cygwin: `/cygdrive/c/dev/apex`
+
+[IMPORTANT]
+.A Build needs Space
+====
+Building APEX requires approximately 2-3 GB of hard disc space, 1 GB for the actual build with full distribution and 1-2 GB for the downloaded dependencies
+====
+
+[IMPORTANT]
+.A Build requires Internet (for first build)
+====
+During the build, several (a lot) of Maven dependencies will be downloaded and stored in the configured local Maven repository.
+The first standard build (and any first specific build) requires Internet access to download those dependencies.
+====
+
+[IMPORTANT]
+.Building RPM distributions
+====
+RPM images are only build if the `rpm` package is installed (Unix).
+To install `rpm` run `sudo apt-get install rpm`, then build APEX.
+====
+
+Use Maven to for a standard build without any tests.

+
+The build takes 2-3 minutes on a standard development laptop.
+It should run through without errors, but with a lot of messages from the build process.
+
+When Maven is finished with the build, the final screen should look similar to this (omitting some `success` lines):

+
+
+The build will have created all artifacts required for an APEX installation.
+The following example show how to change to the target directory and how it should look like.
