Thanks for looking into it, Audrius. I've played a bit today with building (and *not* running the tests at all) geronimo 1.0 M4 on kaffe's CVS head ... it doesn't fully build yet :( 20-30 out of 70 build steps complete, and then some bug in kaffe's native zip code strikes. Using Classpath's zip gave me some sort of a busy hang (much earlier in the build process). :( There are a few necessary steps to repeat the build, and a few patches to go into geronimo and classpath. I'll clean my resulting patches (RMIClassLoader & javax.imageio missing methods, as well as removal of sun-specific code from geronimo) up and send them to geronimo & check my classpath fixes in here. I hope that I'll get that zip bug squished eventually, but don't count on it just yet :) The good news are that maven 1.0.2 works fine on latest GNU Classpath/Kaffe, updating plugins works, download of plugins functions well, too, the jelly scripts function, and so on. what I did pretty much boils down to grab maven 1.0.2 grab geronimo1.0 m4 sources grab kaffe cvs head & configure make install it. ln -s $kaffe/jre/lib/tools.jar $kaffe/lib/tools.jar for maven to detect tools.jar (even though there is nothing in there it can use, but forehead seems to want it, desperately, or it trows it arms desperately in the air and refuses to cooperate) set $java_home to wherever you installed kaffe use maven to run maven use maven to update all the plugins out there mkdir $kaffe/share/kaffe (useless empty directory, needed to convince ant 1.5.3 to cooperate with kaffe cvs head) cd into geronimo source maven --debug -Dmaven.test.skip=true >& build.log the build will break due to a few missing methods that I've got patches for, I am cleaning them up and documenting them. and later the build will break due to Sun-isms in Geronimo::System goal, fixes for which should be later tonight in the geronimo jira. cheers, dalibor topic _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
