The build operation allows for building webMethods packages from source code. Generated artifacts are stored in FlexDeploy internal artifact repository.

This operation should be used in build workflows and must be preceded by operation to extract code from SCM or any File System folder. This means that this operation has a dependency on the existing SCM plugins such as cloneProjectSources, extractProjectSources etc to checkout the source code from SCM tools. Source code is checked out in to temp folder of FlexDeploy workflow execution.

It is best practice to match FlexDeploy project name to webMethods package name.
