help building/extending ApacheDS

[Thom Park]

Hi,   I’m attempting to add a new schema to ApacheDS and am hitting a spot of bother. The firs issue is with building ApacheDS itself.   I’ve hit two snags that I can’t seem to work around (I’m using JDK 1.5.0_04 b.t.w.).   aspectjrt.jar not found in classpath.   No matter what I do – I cannot get this part of the goal-set to build. I tried downloading the latest aspectj jar (aspectj-1.2.jar), renamed it to aspectjrt.jar and placed it in my classpath (environment) to no avail, the maven build does not find it and then complains.   Compile-time errors.   I get the following build errors:   D:\apacheds-0.9\apacheds-0.9\core\src\main\java\org\apache\ldap\server\authn\Aut henticatorConfigBuilder.java:67 error The type AbstractStringBuilder is not visi ble buf.append( EnvKeys.AUTHENTICATOR_CLASS ).append( authenticatorName ); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ D:\apacheds-0.9\apacheds-0.9\core\src\main\java\org\apache\ldap\server\authn\Aut henticatorConfigBuilder.java:80 error The type AbstractStringBuilder is not visi ble buf.append( EnvKeys.AUTHENTICATOR_PROPERTIES ).append( authenticatorName ); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ D:\apacheds-0.9\apacheds-0.9\core\src\main\java\org\apache\ldap\server\db\gui\En tryNode.java:191 error The type AbstractStringBuilder is not visible buf.append( "(" ).append( id ).append( ") " ); ^^^^ And so forth…   As far as I can tell, the schema generation goal doesn’t get reached because of these earlier failures.   Can someone advise me of what I could be doing wrong and/or point me at a build/howto for ApacheDS that goes into a little more detail than that on the web-site – it’s a little on the light side and, since I’m by no means an expert in Maven, am not getting very far working this out for myself.   Thanks,   Thom
