I tried to compile that one with ant but noticed the ant build is already downloading many jar-files (plugins, dependencies) from the Maven repository. I tried it with Maven 2.x and 1.x, but all download some binary jar files first. If you try to build those from source, you either need Maven or they download even more binary jars or the source code is no longer available. This looks to be much harder than I thought. Can't find the first chicken to compile.

It's like Gentoo, but 100% GNU FSDG compliant and hopefully a reproducible build. > Do you build JDK also from source ? Yes, that figured already someone else out. Here is the recipe for IcedTea 3: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/java.scm#n964 Thank you so far, Björn --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
