Getting Started: change "source directory" to "base directory" or similar
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-264
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-264
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: documentation
Affects Versions: 0.3
Environment: N/A
Reporter: Jeff Cadow
Priority: Trivial
Fix For: 0.4
This is a teensy suggestion for change in word choice.
On http://lucene.apache.org/tika/gettingstarted.html, under Getting and
building the sources, it says "Executing the following command in the source
directory will build the sources and install the resulting artifacts in your
local Maven repository."
I looked at the directory structure of the project and figured "source
directory" meant apache-tika-0.4/src. Since I'm a maven newbie, it took me
about an hour to figure out the meaning of the error I got when invoking "mvn
install" from that directory:
"Cannot execute mojo: resources. It requires a project with an existing
pom.xml, but the build is not using one."
Now I know I gotta invoke maven in a directory that has a pom.xml file, and the
root one for Tika is the one in apache-tika-0.4.
Might save other twits an hour to change the word "source" to "base" or similar
in the sentence I quoted here.
P.S. - You need to mark version 0.4 as a released version in JIRA.
