Re: Can anyone build 1.2 from the soource repository?

[David Jencks]

IMO 1.2 is a much better bet than 1.1.1 but since the directory  
structure changed you may have to be careful applying your patches.   
You haven't really said why you are stuck on a 1.x branch -- I would  
seriously consider migrating your changes to the 2.x codebase.

Java 1.5.

Thanks for any advice...

Note that 1.2 is not released and most likely never will be.  You
might consider using 2.0.2 or 2.1-SNAPSHOT.

I'm pretty sure that you need to use maven 2.0.7.  I personally have
not tried 2.0.8 but have heard rumors of problems.

Until you get a successful build you may need to run the bootstrap
procedure.

mvn install -Dstage=bootstrap
mvn install -Dstage=assemble

As noted in the BUILDING.txt file, there are more instructions at
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDEV/building-apache-geronimo-with-
maven-2.html

Hope this helps

Hi all,

I first downloaded the source tar and tried to build that. No go as
it was
missing some snapshots now. Not knowing the slightest bit about
maven (nor
wanting to really), I pulled a source tree of the 1.2 tag. I am
using Sun's
JDK 1.5.0_12 with Maven 2.0.8 trying to build source from
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/server/tags/1.2. If I try
"mvn
install" as the build instructions suggest, I get:

maven-plugin/1.2/car-maven-plugin-1.2.jar

Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

Then, install it using the command:
    mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.geronimo.plugins
-DartifactId=car-maven-plugin -Dversion=1.2 -Dpackaging=maven-plugin
-Dfile=/path/to/file

Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the  
file
there:
    mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.apache.geronimo.plugins
-DartifactId=car-maven-plugin -Dversion=1.2 -Dpackaging=maven-plugin
-Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

I have no idea what it means by "Try downloading the file manually
from the
project website.". I tried the first suggestion it had of "mvn
install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.geronimo.plugins
-DartifactId=car-maven-plugin -Dversion=1.2 -Dpackaging=maven-plugin
-Dfile=/path/to/file" but that didn't seem to do anything (and yes,
I did
try and point it at the proper jar, not /path/to/file ;-)).

I guess I have two queistions:

1) Has anyone gotten this to build recently and if so, in laymans
terms,
what did you do to maven to make it build?

2) Is there a "here's the most common problems with maven and how
to solve
them" for geronimo anywhere? Seems from looking that the use of
maven has
been more a curse than a blessing here and now I see why...so much
for build
repeatability.

Thanks for any help or advice.
