What do you mean "It did not work"? This is a multi-project site so in general mvn site is useless. You have to run mvn site:stage-deply -DstagingSiteURL="file url where I want the site to go". I suppose I could add that to the readme, but it is documented pretty well on the maven site plugin web site.
In a prior release candidate I wasn't generating the release notes and I had the comment in the README. The release was vetoed due to the lack of release notes. I simply forgot to delete the README. Did you run announcement-generate from the core directory? That only works at the project root. The build instructions consist of: mvn clean install Ralph On Wed, Aug 17, 2011 at 8:13 AM, Gary Gregory <garydgreg...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi All: > > I am not sure if I am building correctly, but here is what I found.
