You can also change the problematic pom’s to point to the correct parent pom.xml
<parent> <groupId>org.apache.cocoon</groupId> <artifactId>cocoon</artifactId> <version>10-SNAPSHOT</version> --> this is currently 6-SNAPSHOT <relativePath>../parent</relativePath> </parent> @Francesco, can you confirm this? I guess we should fix this in trunk in that case.

Could you please describe your use case in order to understand whether you absolutely need to build the 2.2 source tree? Regards.

I got everything working in the end, but the easiest is to just add dependencies and don't try to compile everything yourself. If you must you must, but I recommend against it. I hope you'll get away with not debugging the Cocoon source code. Hartelijke groet, Huib.
