Hi David The links you have mentioned seems correct
Movement[1] towards to maven 3.8.6 happened since 1.18.x, and this is mentioned in doc for master branch At the same time 1.17.x still requires 3.3.x as mentioned in the doc for 1.17 you've mentioned. so it depends on the Flink version [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread/jbw3lzzoq5w16ckco3fc9xokycs3f22x On Thu, Sep 14, 2023 at 4:09 PM David Radley <david_rad...@uk.ibm.com> wrote: > Hello, > I am looking to build Flink from source I notice that the documentation > https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-release-1.17/docs/flinkdev/building/ > says > > https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-release-1.17/docs/flinkdev/building/ > > In addition you need Maven 3 and a JDK (Java Development Kit).
