applications, we've spec'd the descriptors from 1.x. That's really the
biggest reason but we're also to trying to limit any regression  
testing we
need to do. Will 2.x deploy 1.x applications properly?

There are one or two incompatibilities that I know about:

1. run-as and default subjects need quite different security  
configuration.  This has to be upgraded by hand.
2. (I'm less sure of this one) EjB 2.1 CMP entity beans need quite  
different configuration and are pretty slow in geronimo 2.x.   
Basically CMP support is provided so your app will work while you  
migrate to JPA.  I'm not 100% sure but I think you have to replace  
the mapping descriptors for tranql used in geronimo 1.x with a jpa  
orm file.  We might do the translation automatically however.

Other than that I'd expect applications that deploy on 1.x to deploy  
on 2.x

IMO 1.2 is a much better bet than 1.1.1 but since the directory
structure changed you may have to be careful applying your patches.
You haven't really said why you are stuck on a 1.x branch -- I would
seriously consider migrating your changes to the 2.x codebase.

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...

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.
