I'm building mvn 2.0.5 for the fix: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1908
I'm following the instructions at http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-building-m2.html On the final stage of building the binary distribution: cd maven-core mvn assembly:assembly I'm getting an error: [INFO] [jar:jar] [INFO] Building jar: C:\maven\repo\maven-components\maven-core\target\maven-core -2.1-SNAPSHOT.jar [WARNING] DEPRECATED [descriptor]: Please use descriptors instead [INFO] [assembly:assembly] [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Error reading assemblies: Error locating assembly descriptor file: C:\mav en\repo\maven-components\maven-core\src\assemble\bin.xml C:\maven\repo\maven-components\maven-core\src\assemble\bin.xml (The system canno t find the path specified) [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 8 seconds [INFO] Finished at: Tue Nov 14 17:14:24 MST 2006 [INFO] Final Memory: 9M/17M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ When I look in maven-core\src there is no assemble directory. The web page asks me to email the Maven Developers list if I have a problem - so here it is. Any help gratefully received, Thanks --Duncan McNaught Intuit Eclipse SCM 303 938 8801x1139
