Of course you can create a file with "." as the initial character in
Windows... how do you think the ~/.m2/ directory gets created?
_Windows Explorer_ might not like to allow that... but that does not
mean that it is not possible to do so... its just crappy microsoft
software trying to be intelligent and ending up being dumb as
rocks... again.

Windows wont let you create a file with "." as the initial

Is there any other alternative in windows?

I tried to increase the mvn heap sz by adding to the command -
DMAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx512m. It does not seem to work, any suggestions?

We've been struggling with build problems on windows for some
time now and things just keep on getting worse.
I'm composing this note to summarize the problems that I'm aware
of with work-arounds and possible solutions. I'm also fishing
to see if anybody else has some ideas on how to resolve these
issues.
1) Windows pathlength problem.
Problem:
There are miscellaneous failures that can typically be tracked
down to the windows pathlength problem. The nature of our
repository structure and deployment make this a big problem.
It also seems like we're continuing to add more intermediate
elements in path names as we try to get things more organized
and conform to Maven 2 conventions.
Work-around:
The work-around is to keep the windows root path as small as
possible. I now typically build from a root path of c:\g to
avoid these problems.
Possible Solution:
For a longer term solution I'm planning to work on a new
repository implementation in 1.2 that that isn't as redundant or
verbose.
2) JSP compilation errors
Problem:
Embedded error: Unable to compile class for JSP
Strange error message about JAVA_HOME, etc...
Possible Solution/Work-around:
Update the pom.xml in the root directory to use version 1.4.5-
SNAPSHOT (from 1.4.4) for the jspc-maven-plugin. Not sure if
Jeff Genender is planning to make 1.4.5 an official release for
this. We're not sure why it gets us around the problem so it
may be a red herring.
3) Openejb2 test failures.
Problem:
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException:
org.openejb.deployment.DeploymentTestSuite.getName()
Work-around:
After bootstrap failure cd to <root>\target\external\openejb2
"mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true"
cd back to <root>
"mvn clean install"
Possible solution:
Dain suggested adding the "getName" method to the test.
However, when I attempted this I hit other errors.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=geronimo-dev&m=115680051431478&w=2
I think it would be helpful if we could disable the openejb
tests until this problem is resolved.
4) Blue screen of death (bsod)
Problem:
This has been reported by multiple users on various machines.
When running an M1 or M2 build the user encounters a bsod due to
a memory failure.
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
*** STOP: 0x00000050 (0xBADDB148, 0x00000000, 0x8056C77B,
0x00000000)
Dump of physical memory
Work-around/Possible Solution:
Haven't found one yet. I've tried updated drivers, replaced
hardware, tried various heap size settings, etc.... At times
this can be fairly frequent (every 3rd build attempt or so).
I'm collecting bootstrap.log files from folks when this happens
during a bootstrap to see if there is a common thread. So far,
with the bootstrap logs, it always seems to happen at about the
same place:
Running tests after building a module (usually
tomcat.ApplicationTest or TomcatModuleBuilderTest) and the final
lines in the log are always the Creation of an MBeanServer like
this:
[exec] Running org.apache.geronimo.tomcat.ApplicationTest
[exec] Created MBeanServer with ID:
5dcec6:10d5a184aed:-8000:jbohn2:1
Please respond to this note if you are seeing the bsod failures
on windows. At first I thought this was just me and was
hardware related. However, the more I talk to folks on windows
the more I hear of other folks encountering this same problem.
I've updated all drivers, replaced my entire system, and several
other folks have reported seeing this on completely different
systems. I think that pretty much rules out a hardware problem.
ideas welcome!
Joe
