Hi,
Finally got around to trying out merlin. Downloaded the 3.0 binaries from http://www.apache.org/~mcconnel/dist/avalon/merlin. Set the environment variable and added to path; merlin -version seems to run fine.
On to the tutorials: typed 'maven' in the tutorial directory (using maven b10);
starts to download a bunch of things and then complains about
'no goal [avalon:meta]'..
I vaguely remember someone posting something about this, but cannot seem to find the post back...
Anybody any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Yep - by guess is that your attempting to build a concrete artifact from an abstract concept ;-)
The tutorials directory is just a directory of tutorials - nothing buildable in and of itself. If you drop down into any of the 18 other turorial projects containing a project.xml - should should get a more concrete result - start of with "hello" and take at the on-line tutorial docs. If you want to be recorded in the merlin halls of fame - note down any and all obsticles - even the itty bitty little ones that are perhaps annoying but none the less agrivating - get past them (if they exist), have a god time, enjoy the documentation, and post the a frank assement back to the list.
Good, bad, or ugly - feedback is so important - mundane or otherwise. If we can ehance and improve the material it means that between 60 and 120 people behind you will not experience the same problem and that means that the 430 new users in October are getting home runs every time. Now ... isn't that what open-souce is all about?
Cheers, Steve.
