Hi, First of all, the good news. We were able to integrate maven successfully to Gentoo. Now, it was able to do most of the general compiling and building stuff. We build maven-from-source which involve considerable work to integrate.
But, there's few glitches. There's an error in some builds which use maven-remote-resources-plugin. This happened to me when testing the build wagon-1.0-beta-7 tag, and few other builds. It fails with ClassNotFoundException for the class org.codehaus.plexus.velocity.DefaultVelocityComponent which is in the package plexus-velocity. The stack trace is at http://pastebin.com/p8YUsGw7. Does maven-2.2.1 need plexus-velocity as a dependency? I haven't noticed. In fact, plexus-velocity is in the m2 repo, though, apparently it's not used by the mvn. I tried adding plexus-velocity as a dependency (to uber jar if you may). We don't actually use the uber jar, but we put the needs jars to maven lib/ directory, which gets identified by classworlds. It solved the said issue. But, then it asked for the artifact velocity. See: http://pastebin.com/r9vsM85k Oh well, what option I have now. I've included velocity as well to be picked by classworlds when launching mvn. It brought me here where I got stuck: http://pastebin.com/WvLSsupa Any help please? We are much close to the finish-line. Thanks, --Kasun -- ~~~*******'''''''''''''*******~~~ Kasun Gajasinghe, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka.
