Compile and Run from source

[jaxoncreed]

Hi, I'm having trouble compiling and running ElasticSearch from source. I've cloned the repo and tried the following things with no avail:

• https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch - I ran "gradle build," but target folder wasn’t created

• https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md - ran grade assemble, but the distributions folder wasn’t generated.

• https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/elasticsearch/Zovdk0x6r8A - configured Intellij as requested, but none of the class path modules will produce a result that doesn’t error.

Thanks

gradle run is the quickest way to get something running.

gradle assemble makes distribution/zip/build/distribution/elasticsearch-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip. We could certainly use better docs for this....
