Hello Seref Its not eclipse ..apparently the axiom build is erroring out
this is from dims.. Please remove your ~/.m2/repository/org/apache/ws/commons/axiom directory and run the geronimo build again. I have cleaned up the bad jar this morning in apache maven2-snapshots (I too have noticed this error while building 2.1.1) \axis2-1.1\src\java\modules\kernel\src\org\apache\axis2\util\Builder.java:[2 1,40] cannot find symbol symbol : class OMBuilder location: package org.apache.axiom.om.impl.builder Martin-- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Seref Arikan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2007 10:28 AM Subject: Compiling Eclipse plugins: story of my frustration > Hi, > I have spent hours trying to get an eclipse project for the axis2 server > archiver plugin, and I have given up finally.
