I could easily have done something wrong. However, I've just started working with flume trunk. A new clone onto a fresh system wouldn't build until I commented out the maven-javadoc-plugin build configuration in the root POM. Even though flume-ng-core depends on flume-ng-sdk , the build step for flume-ng-sdk would invoke the javadoc target which would fork a build for flume-ng-core which would fail as nothing yet had been installed for flume-ng-sdk. FWIW.
Also, I needed to increase MaxPermSize in MAVEN_OPTS to avoid PermGen full failures in the compiler (Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11)). Best regards, - Andy Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by hitting back. - Piet Hein (via Tom White)
