re: http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-building-m2.html
please help me get maven to build
i am using windows xp; i have maven 2.0.9 installed; i have successfully
fully built apache axis2,
which uses maven and mercurial. i have ant1.7.0 installed;
the maven build instructions say to build maven 2.0 -- all you need is:
svn co
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/components/branches/maven-2.0.x
maven-2.0.x
i have done this -- and it will not build; i am trying to build with
maven -- not a bootstrap/ant build.
the error is:
C:\Sun\maven-2.0.x\maven-2.0.x>mvn install
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO]

...
also -- i have attempted to dnload/checkout via:
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/trunks maven
to the C:\maven directory; i get the checkout error:
svn: Can't create directory
'C:\maven\trunks\core-integration-testing\core-integration-tests-support

\mng-xxxx-descriptionOfProblem\checkstyle-assembly\src\main\resources\.svn\tmp\text-base'
: The filename or extension is too long.
yet the html page says can checkout to windows if done to the root;
