Note that 1.2 is not released and most likely never will be. You
might consider using 2.0.2 or 2.1-SNAPSHOT.
I'm pretty sure that you need to use maven 2.0.7. I personally have
not tried 2.0.8 but have heard rumors of problems.
Until you get a successful build you may need to run the bootstrap
procedure.
mvn install -Dstage=bootstrap
mvn install -Dstage=assemble
As noted in the BUILDING.txt file, there are more instructions at
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDEV/building-apache-geronimo-with-
maven-2.html
Hope this helps

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:

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]

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.
