  21 To build the plugins manually, first cd to the directory then invoke Maven:
  22 $ cd lttng/
  23 $ mvn clean install
  24
  25 The default command will compile and run the unit tests. Running the tests can
  26 take some time, to skip them you can append "-Dmaven.test.skip=true" to the
  27 'mvn' command:
  28 $ mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
  29
  30 The RCP is not built by default, to build it you need to add "-PtracingRcp" to
  31 the 'mvn' command:
  32 $ mvn clean install -PtracingRcp -Dmaven.test.skip=true
  33
  34 This will build the RCP for all supported architectures. The resulting archives
  35 will be placed in lttng/org.eclipse.linuxtools.tracing.rcp.product/target/products
