WDYT, Robert?
First of all, I think that I should update the documentation :-) With all the SNAPSHOTs being deployed by the Jenkins jobs the only command that should be used to build Sling after the SVN checkout is $ cd launchpad/builder $ mvn -U clean install which matches to a large degree what the Jenkins jobs do. There should be absolutely no need to perform a full reactor build - which takes time, and is not always stable - to get a launchpad. Then I'd like to understand exactly why the reactor build fails, as it should not, at least not when the individual module builds are working.
