Hi all, I first downloaded the source tar and tried to build that. No go as it was missing some snapshots now. Not knowing the slightest bit about maven (nor wanting to really), I pulled a source tree of the 1.2 tag. I am using Sun's JDK 1.5.0_12 with Maven 2.0.8 trying to build source from https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/server/tags/1.2. If I try "mvn install" as the build instructions suggest, I get:
Downloading: http://repository.codehaus.org/org/apache/geronimo/plugins/car-maven-plugin/1.2/car-maven-plugin-1.2.jar Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/geronimo/plugins/car-maven-plugin/1.2/car-maven-plugin-1.2.jar [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Plugin could not be found - check that the goal name is correct: Unable to download the artifact from any repository Try downloading the file manually from the project website. Then, install it using the command: mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.geronimo.plugins -DartifactId=car-maven-plugin -Dversion=1.2 -Dpackaging=maven-plugin -Dfile=/path/to/file Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there: mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.apache.geronimo.plugins -DartifactId=car-maven-plugin -Dversion=1.2 -Dpackaging=maven-plugin -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id] org.apache.geronimo.plugins:car-maven-plugin:maven-plugin:1.2 from the specified remote repositories: central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2), codehaus (http://repository.codehaus.org), apache-snapshots (http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository), codehaus-snapshots (http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org) org.apache.geronimo.plugins:car-maven-plugin:maven-plugin:1.2 from the specified remote repositories: central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2), codehaus (http://repository.codehaus.org), apache-snapshots (http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository), codehaus-snapshots (http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org) [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 1 minute 45 seconds [INFO] Finished at: Tue Jan 22 13:47:53 EST 2008 [INFO] Final Memory: 36M/65M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have no idea what it means by "Try downloading the file manually from the project website.". I tried the first suggestion it had of "mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.geronimo.plugins -DartifactId=car-maven-plugin -Dversion=1.2 -Dpackaging=maven-plugin -Dfile=/path/to/file" but that didn't seem to do anything (and yes, I did try and point it at the proper jar, not /path/to/file ;-)). I guess I have two queistions: 1) Has anyone gotten this to build recently and if so, in laymans terms, what did you do to maven to make it build? 2) Is there a "here's the most common problems with maven and how to solve them" for geronimo anywhere? Seems from looking that the use of maven has been more a curse than a blessing here and now I see why...so much for build repeatability. Thanks for any help or advice.
