Building the executable jar package takes forever

[linus-hologram]

Hey there,

I've just downloaded saferegex and tried to build the executable jar by using the $ ./mvnw clean package command you specified.

However, it takes forever to install:

The second testing-phase takes forever. It just doesn't build the executable .jar file. Is there any way you could tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance :)

i'm not sure. what version of Java are you running?

Version 8, Update 241 for Mac OS

Took 4 hours for me and on top of it all the build failed.

Same here, it takes forever. I'm really interested in using this tool to test some regular expressions.

My main question regarding this reported issue is: why is it executing these tests for simply building the package?

Update: it's the tests in the project that are executed during the Maven build, they can be skipped:
./mvnw clean package -DskipTests
