Are you trying to make some changes to the bpm-console and then build it all to test?
If so you can do these steps:
1) clone from bpm-console master: https://github.com/bpmc/bpm-console
2) (remember, bpm-console is not only used by jbpm so you have to pass in the profile)
build it with:
mvn clean install -Dconsole.profile=jbpm -Dfull -DskipTests
3) This will create bpm-console 2.4.0-SNAPSHOT. Note that jBPM master is on a .Final release 2.3.4.Final so search all the jBPM pom.xml files where you can find 2.3.4.Final and replace with 2.4.0-SNAPSHOT so that yours is picked up
4) Build jBPM with mvn clean install -Dfull -DskipTests and find your zips in jbpm-distribution/target
If you are using the jbpm installer at this point you would have to look at the build.properties to chage the jbpm version, move your zips to the installer/lib dir and run
ant clean.demo
ant install.demo (or ant install.demo.noeclipse)
ant start.demo (or ant start.demo.noeclipse)
Hope this helps.
