Hi Peter and Michael.
I use Eclipse instead of NetBeans, but I usually compile only the xmlui
webapp and the problem you reported can be solved adding
-Ddspace.dir=/path/to/dspace.dir to the packaging command.
So, if you compile your xmlui webapp from the command line with maven, then
just add that parameter:
# mvn package -Ddspace.dir=/path/to/your/dspace.dir
And if you use some maven auto-build function from NetBeans, then configure
your NetBean in order to add that parameter in the packaging process.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Nestor
