Another user has tried to follow the instructions on http://felix.apache.org/documentation/development/building-felix.html and failed. I looked at it and saw:
A basic start to checking-out and building Felix including all sub projects: 1. Download and install the latest Maven 3 release. 1. Check out or update the Felix trunk (i.e., svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/felix/trunk felix). 1. Go to the top of the project and type: "mvn clean install" to build all sub projects. 1. To run the newly built framework, cd into main and type "java -jar bin/felix.jar". Rev. 1712598 by cziegeler on Wed, 4 Nov 2015 17:48:20 +0000 I looked at this and it seems moderately ludicrous so I tried to edit it. The cms editor showed me some completely different text talking about how there’s an ant script to build the whole thing. I then tried to edit this to point out that building one project at a time is probably what you want to do, and got a incomprehensible message about an svn conflict. I have no idea what’s going on and give up. I think no information would be better than inaccurate and non-editable information. thanks david jencks
