Robert Lazarski resolved AXIS2-6085.
------------------------------------
    Resolution: Fixed

 Fixed on trunk, shipping in 2.0.1. The README now lists build prerequisites: JDK 17+, Maven 3.9+,
   and bash shell (with a note that Windows users need Git Bash or WSL).

> When building from source there is the following hint:
> {code:java}
> 1) Manually "mvn install" both of the plugins in the following places:
>    
>    modules/tool/axis2-mar-maven-plugin
>    modules/tool/axis2-aar-maven-plugin {code}
> If building on Windows from an IDE (for me IntelliJ) this will most likely fail because the maven-aar-plugin build attempts to run a bash script in the verify phase.
> I was able to get this to work from the command-line in a git-bash shell. (Update: took the time to get Windows WSL up and running and this works fine too)
> Here there could be a little more clarity about the bash requirement.
