Mike, Ah that’s what happens when we make assumptions. I assumed the build file instructions were safe to follow. I originally did mvn install when I installed Maven and did the build the other day, that’s why my build worked. Why you ran into the error seems to be clear now. It isn’t platform dependent, I was able to replicate your error on OS X and Ubuntu. It has to do with the Maven lifecycle.
Here is the default Maven lifecycle: validate - validate the project is correct and all necessary information is available compile - compile the source code of the project test - test the compiled source code using a suitable unit testing framework. These tests should not require the code be packaged or deployed package - take the compiled code and package it in its distributable format, such as a JAR. integration-test - process and deploy the package if necessary into an environment where integration tests can be run verify - run any checks to verify the package is valid and meets quality criteria install - install the package into the local repository, for use as a dependency in other projects locally deploy - done in an integration or release environment, copies the final package to the remote repository for sharing with other developers and projects. Maven runs each phase of the lifecycle up to the phase you specify, so if you say package, it stops at package. If you say install, it stops at install. In a multi-module project build like James, it runs through the lifecycle for each module, building as it goes. Based on the missing folders error in your original build, I think the james-server module was expecting to see the other modules installed in the Maven .m2 repository, but they were not installed, and the build failed. The proper thing to do, then, is run mvn clean install, which will build and install all the modules before building the server. Thanks for your feedback. I will make new videos today with the updated instructions.I will also note the updated svn repository location based on the re-direct. Looks like the viewvc folder is meant only for browsing.
