hi, this mail is partioned in two parts:
1) maven build process questions 2) merlin.sh questions 1) maven build process questions -------------------------------- did a fresh check out using maven 1.0-b9. I am just starting to using maven, so perhaps the error is my mistake, but the goal 'merlin-dist' didn't pass. So I worked around using: maven.junit.usefile=false maven.test.failure.ignore = true in project.properties. Now I have a compiled merlin the 'target' directory. Question about maven: Is there any special bootstrapping needed for maven in order to work - I think it should fetch all its libs from its repository, so I thought it doesn't depend on a particular version of for instance ant.jar. - What's your experience on that? BTW: the testcase that failed was: org.apache.avalon.merlin.RepositoryTestCase but the stacktrace (using maven -e) had lots of jelly and jexl methods, but no acutal merlin method - so don't know where the error happend... 2) bin/merlin.sh questions -------------------------- merlin.sh does not work because of $MERLIN_TMP by default points to /. Now there are several pointers where $MERLIN_TMP could point to. * /tmp this is problematic if you want to run more versions than one merlin, since merlin will overwrite its /tmp/merlin.pid for instance. anyways the pid file should, according to the lsb, /var/run. But this is again problematic since only root by default has access to that directory. * $MERLIN_HOME/tmp I think we should favor this directory (or perhaps $MERLIN_HOME/var/run ) for keeping the pid file, since when you have multiple merlins one merlin does not overwrite other configuration files. any opinions? -- Jakob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
