Thanks, I got it to compile!  I think the key was to comment out the <extend> element. 
 I was getting an error because this element was pointing to ../project.xml but that 
file is in the current directory not the parent.  I had changed this element to point 
to ./project.xml to get it to run, but I suspect this was the cause of my problems.  
When I commented out the <extend> element and used the skip.tests variable you 
suggested, the compile completed.

Now the question is how do I get a simple Jelly script to run?  I tried running a 
script by putting the required jars in my class path and running 
org.apache.commons.jelly.Jelly but I get the following error:

java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraints violated when linking org/xml/sax/XMLReader 
class

Any idea what is the correct way to run a simple Hello World script?  Also, what is 
the minimal set of JAR files required to use the jelly-core?  Would they be all the 
JARs in the jelly/target/lib folder?  That seems like overkill for a minimal Jelly 
script?

Thanks,
Mark

  Mark,

  I'm surprised that you couldn't compile.
  Which version did you grab ?
  I would recommend to follow the cvs-checkout.
  At least on this, after commenting out the "<extend>" element, "maven 
  jar" builds fine by me (including tests).

  For taglibs, the problem will come a bit later that some dependencies 
  are not distributable as easily hence need manual work...

jar files downloaded into the repository I got a NullPointerException.  I tried 
several things after this (I will not go into the details) and I still have not be 
able to get a working copy of Jelly.
