Building Vert.x

The build uses Gradle. The build script will automatically install the bits it needs if they aren't already installed.

Prerequisites

jython - for building python support (even if you don't plan to use Jython)
Ensure that the JYTHON_HOME environment variable points to the Jython base directory, or you'll get errors like A problem occurred starting process 'command 'null/jython''.
yard - for building ruby docs (you can exclude it passing -x yard to the build tool)

On *nix
