Hi, In the getting started instructions at http://avalon.apache.org/excalibur/fortress/getting-started.html they say that try to get Avalon, Avalon-excalibur, logkit and Jakarta-site from CVS and try to build those.
First of all is it really necessary to build all those at your end just to run some Hello World example. And when you hit the download link on the same page it take you to, http://avalon.apache.org/download.cgi where they have link to download Fortress binaries. I downloaded the Excalibur-fortress-latest.zip from there. On extraction it includes an examples.zip so I assumed that it would have some runnable examples that are mentioned on the website. On extraction of examples.zip I got a build.xml. When I try to run ant to use that build.xml it fails: collect-jars: BUILD FAILED file:C:/avalon/excalibur-fortress-1.0/build.xml:53: Cannot resolve path C:\avalon\excalibur-fortress-1.0\..\..\..\avalon\target\lib\avalon-framework .jar Total time: 1 second The Merlin binary downloaded from the same page builds perfect with maven and the examples run too, but I have to use fortress ( why ? cause my boss is using fulcrum and it seems to be using fortress big time ) I also tried to build fulcrum but it doesn't build cause the locations and names of many dependency jars has changed. So is there any binary download for fortress which could build good ( and get all the dependency jars on itself )with maven like the merlin download. Or downloading all the projects from CVS and then building those is the only way to go for now. And in Apache CVS Excalibur is in a separate project folder but fortress in under the Avalon project folder, why is that ? And I've never felt so dumb ? Its been four days and I haven't been able to make or run even a single component. But I definitely am hell bent on making it work.
