Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-12300:
-----------------------------------------
I don't think we change the instructions.
We actually like those tests to compile; even if you don't run the tests, the
-test artifacts are needed downstream and so have to be published. Furthermore,
the cost of a compile is low (compared to test runs), and it will catch static
changes immediately.
I do think its' a local problem with your system, and that this is something
you're going to need to fix -adding some details on the wiki afterwards may be
useful, or we could add an IBM-platform extension to the BUILDING.TXT. But
those -test artifacts are used downstream (example, base FS compatibility tests
are pubished in hadoop-common-test, and picked by external FS suppliers), and
publishing a hadoop build, even locally, without those artifacts, is risky.
> BUILDING.txt instructions for skipping tests incomplete/obsolete, build can
> fail.

> Key: HADOOP-12300
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12300
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.5.0, 2.6.0
> Environment: maven 3.2.3 +
> Reporter: Peter D Kirchner
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> Instructions currently online, and within the hadoop source tree, appear to
> be incomplete/obsolete for building the source. I checked 2.5.0 and 2.6.0 .
> with "mvn install -DskipTests" my build fails on multiple hadoop src/test
> sub-directories with:
> Failed to execute goal
> org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.5.1:testCompile
> (default-testCompile)...
> This compile failure may be related to my jdk/jre, but why is my build ("mvn
> install -DskipTests") compiling these tests?
> The pom.xml files are using the maven-compiler-plugin to compile some of the
> tests instead of surefire. The maven-compiler-plugin is unaffected by
> -DskipTests and per maven documentation requires -Dmaven.test.skip instead,
> which the surefire plugin also obeys.
> Building with
> mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip
> completes in my environment.
> I suggest a "major" rating because of the impact on users of the source
> tarballs. IMO the build instructions in the tarball and online (e.g.
> https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/EclipseEnvironment ) should work reliably.
> Thanks!
