Before building the Eclipse Plugins (GEP 2.2.0) you'll need to build a Geronimo 2.2-SNAPSHOT server locally (from geronimo/brnaches/2.2), as the artifacts out on the SNAPSHOT repo are really old. I've started a build to publish the latest 2.2-SNAPSHOT artifacts out, to get one last one out there before we have a 2.2 RC to start testing, but it'll take several hours for the publish to finish. The best bet, is to always build the latest server code before trying to build GEP....
I haven't tried to build devtools, recently. Will give it a try... --kevan
