Hi I was able to successfully build and test Beehive from my environment but I though there are a couple of things that I will share so that it is useful for others who might hit this
1) If you are behind a firewall, it would be useful to add a setproxy task to the build document (build.xml). For example, <setproxy proxyhost="host" proxyport="port"> During bootstrap this is used to get the JSR 173 jar file and without this task, bootstrap will fail. I think it would be good to add the setproxy in a commented form in the build.xml and have instructions in BUILDING.txt to alert users to this I have attached a couple of patches to build.xml and BUILDING.txt. I don't know whether this conforms to the project guidelines in terms of formatting, naming convention etc. Please apply it if you think it is useful Index: BUILDING.txt =================================================================== --- BUILDING.txt (revision 23158) +++ BUILDING.txt (working copy) @@ -11,6 +11,23 @@ directory.

The later one has this version string java version "1.5.0-beta2" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-beta2-b51) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-beta2-b51, mixed mode, sharing) And the one I had before has a version string as below java version "1.5.0-beta2" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-beta2-b47) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-beta2-b47, mixed mode) This resulted in some compilation errors. So, I guess my point is, if you have JDK 1.5.0 already, make sure that it is build 51. Regards Venkat BTW, my JIRA id is nrv
