Hi, I've met a weird build error from the fresh JS-2 trunk today (Maven3/JDK1.6):
... INFO] Jetspeed-2 Portal Site ............................ SUCCESS [0.973s] [INFO] Jetspeed-2 Portal Components ...................... FAILURE [2.046s] ... [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ... [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.0.2:compile (default-compile) on project jetspeed-portal: Compilation failure: Compilation failure: [ERROR] /Users/woonsan/workspace/portal/jetspeed-2-TRUNK/components/jetspeed-portal/src/main/java/org/apache/jetspeed/services/rest/JaxrsServiceValve.java:[55,23] cannot find symbol [ERROR] symbol : method invokeStaticMethod(java.lang.Class<capture#657 of ?>,java.lang.String,java.lang.Object[]) [ERROR] location: class org.apache.commons.beanutils.MethodUtils ... So, I ran `mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=commons-beanutils' in the components/jetspeed-portal module folder: [INFO] org.apache.portals.jetspeed-2:jetspeed-portal:jar:2.2.3-SNAPSHOT [INFO] +- org.apache.portals.jetspeed-2:jetspeed-registry:jar:2.2.3-SNAPSHOT:compile [INFO] | \- org.apache.portals.jetspeed-2:jetspeed-serializer:jar:2.2.3-SNAPSHOT:compile [INFO] | \- org.apache.ddlutils:ddlutils:jar:1.0:compile [INFO] | \- commons-betwixt:commons-betwixt:jar:0.8:compile [INFO] | \- commons-beanutils:commons-beanutils-core:jar:1.7.0:compile [INFO] \- org.apache.velocity:velocity-tools:jar:1.3:compile [INFO] \- commons-beanutils:commons-beanutils:jar:1.8.0:compile The above clearly shows it depends on two different versions of commons-beanutils. The API, MethodUtils#invokeStaticMethod() [1] has been introduced since 1.8.I don't know why/when this problem started staying here, but I think we should add the explicit dependencies in components/jetspeed-portal/pom.xml like the following: <dependency> <groupId>commons-beanutils</groupId> <artifactId>commons-beanutils</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>commons-beanutils</groupId> <artifactId>commons-beanutils-core</artifactId> </dependency> In my local testing, this solves the problem. So I'll add commit it soon. Please let me know if there's anything I missed. Thanks!
