I am new to both Magnolia and Maven, so maybe I am just confused, but I had serious problems compiling Magnolia from source (trunk).
First I checked out the "build" and "community" roots in subversion, then I ran checkout.sh, and then I installed Maven and tried to build everything and anything, but it didn't work due to missing files at "repo1.maven.org" so I managed to figure out that I needed a ~/.m2/settings.xml to override the default settings by defining a maven mirror pointing at "repo.magnolia.info". Sadly, both the maven documentation and the error messages are abysmally inadequate, so it wasn't at all clear what to write in that settings file. I finally did manage, by trial-and-horror, to compile and run the module I was interested in, but I am not at all happy with the process that got me there since it didn't produce a deterministic recipe. My questions are: Am I the only one who has Maven problems? How do all of you experienced people handle Maven repos when compiling Magnolia? Do you use a custom ~/.m2/settings.xml? If so, exactly what does it contain that remediates the problem? -- Björn Danielsson <[email protected]> ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/home/community/mailing-lists.html To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
