I saw the requirement for Ant 1.8 or later. The encoding option in
the echo task is new since Ant 1.7.
To install ant 1.7, 1.8 or 1.8.4 requires JUnit to already be present.
Unfortunately, to build JUnit you need maven in place.
Hence my attempt to install/build maven.
I found that I was able to build and install maven version 2.2.1 fine
on Tiger/ppc.
Apparently there have been a lot of changes in the build.xml file
between 2.2.1 and 3.x versions of maven.
Now, typing "mv install" in the Junit folder results in "Unable to
build project ...junit/pom.xml; it requires Maven version 3.0.4"
which is a different issue involving building junit 4 with maven 2.

The README.bootstrap.txt from the source tree states the
pre-requisites for building the bootstrap code are:
- Java 1.5
- Ant 1.8 or later
Whereas you're using Ant 1.6.5 - this is likely the problem, because
1.6.5 doesn't support the use of an encoding in the echo task (this
is what creates that particular pom.properties file)

Hi all,
I am trying to install Maven from source code on a PowerMac G4 PPC
7450 running 10.4.11 and with
Java JDK 1.5 and Ant 1.6.5 installed.
I am getting an error from line #236 of build.xml
(java.io.FileNotFoundException: ...full path to pom.properties file)
Apparently the pom.properties file that is expected to be the
bootstrap area for that target (compile-boot) to run, is missing.
The missing file "pom.properties" is indeed located in the source
code tree in:
maven-core/src/test/resources/META-INF/maven/org.apache.maven/maven-core
I am new to Maven, but it appears that an entry in
maven-core/src/main/mdo/toolchains.mdo for this file in META-INF is
needed in order to get it copied over to the bootstrap area during
the building of the target "generate-sources".
My environment variables are set as follows:
JAVA_HOME = /Library/Java/Home
ANT_HOME = /Developer/Java/Ant
M2_HOME = /usr/local/maven-3.0.4
I also set M3_HOME = /usr/local/maven-3.0.4 in case that was
needed instead of M2_HOME
I do not have CLASSPATH defined at all.
What am I missing here to get Maven to build? Any tips or hints
would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
