After your `JAVA_HOME` is defined correctly, it is as simple as run `mvn package` under jvm-packages directory to install XGBoost4J. You can also skip the tests by running `mvn -DskipTests=true package`, if you are sure about the correctness of your local setup.
XGBoost4J-Spark which integrates XGBoost with Spark requires to run with Spark 1.6 or newer (the default version is 1.6.1). You can build XGBoost4J-Spark as a component of XGBoost4J by running `mvn package` or specifying the spark version by `mvn -Dspark.version=1.6.0 package`.
After integrating with Dataframe/Dataset APIs of Spark 2.0, XGBoost4J-Spark only supports compile with Spark 2.x. You can build XGBoost4J-Spark as a component of XGBoost4J by running `mvn package`, and you can specify the version of spark with `mvn -Dspark.version=2.0.0 package`. (To continue working with Spark 1.x, the users are supposed to update pom.xml by modifying the properties like `spark.version`, `scala.version`, and `scala.binary.version`. Users also need to change the implemention by replacing SparkSession with SQLContext and the type of API parameters from Dataset[_] to Dataframe)
