Prior to i2b2 1.7.12, it was necessary to build each cell from source. That legacy documentation is included in the subsections here.

Note that the properties file configuration details are only used in versions prior to 1.7.12. As of 1.7.12, these properties have been moved to HIVE_CELL_PARAMS in the database.
