Re: Can anyone build 1.2 from the soource repository?

[Jay D. McHugh]

Hello,

Even though 1.2 was never released - I was using it in production (as a 
snapshot) for quite a while.  I believe there was only one issue that 
held it back from being released (I'll have to go back to check though).

I would suspect that the only thing you would need to get your build to 
finish is using the 'bootstrap' flag that David mentioned.

I'm checking this now to make sure and I'll let you know.

apply some patches and configuration from a custom build of 1.0 :-( which
means I need something most likely from the 1.x ancestry. So, if 1.2 is a
no-go, is 1.1.1 a good one? I need a 1.x ancestor that runs under Java 1.5.

Thanks for any advice...

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]

  codehaus (http://repository.codehaus.org),
  apache-snapshots (http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-

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.
