Hi All: I am not sure if I am building correctly, but here is what I found. Some build instructions in the readme.txt file would help.
Downloaded source zip from http://people.apache.org/~rgoers/commons-vfs/staged/ >From the root I ran "mvn site" which did not work. Fine, starting to poke around. >From the "dist" directory I ran "mvn site" which did not work: [INFO] Generating "Dependency Management" report --- maven-project-info-reports-plugin:2.3.1 Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/commons/commons-vfs-examples/2.0/commons-vfs-examples-2.0.pom [WARNING] Unable to create Maven project from repository. org.apache.maven.project.ProjectBuildingException: Error resolving project artifact: Failure to find org.apache.commons:commons-vfs-examples:pom:2.0 in http://r epo1.maven.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are for ced for project org.apache.commons:commons-vfs-examples:pom:2.0 at org.apache.maven.project.DefaultProjectBuilder.build(DefaultProjectBuilder.java:272) at org.apache.maven.project.DefaultMavenProjectBuilder.buildFromRepository(DefaultMavenProjectBuilder.java:237) at org.apache.maven.project.DefaultMavenProjectBuilder.buildFromRepository(DefaultMavenProjectBuilder.java:252) Why would building the site require an installed VFS2? The README.txt says to run "mvn changes:announcement-generate" to get release notes but there is a RELEASE-NOTES.txt file in the same dir. Why do we need two? When I do run "mvn changes:announcement-generate", I get: [INFO] --- maven-changes-plugin:2.4:announcement-generate (default-cli) @ commons-vfs2 --- [WARNING] changes.xml file C:\test\commons-vfs-2.0\core\src\changes\changes.xml does not exist. There is no such file. I do not know if I should -1 this because there are no build instructions, or if there are, they are located in some non-obvious spot.
