Hi,
Yes, I tried to use the binaries first, but on the ppc architecture
when I type "mvn -version"
I see:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/codehaus/plexus/classworlds/launcher/Launcher.
I get this for Maven version 3.1.1
What I am trying to do is install the newer versions of the JDK on my
ppc machine. On Tiger the last Apple-supplied JDK is 1.5
So I am trying to install JDK 1.6 on the way to installing 1.7 ultimately.
The SoyLatte work of Landon Fuller and others is for the Intel-based
chipset only. Hence my interest in building from source code for the
ppc.
I found that to build a new version of Ant I needed JUnit. JUnit in
turn requires Maven.
My apologies if this is not the correct mailing list, I thought it
might be since my questions were specific to the build requirements
and underlying build scripts used to build and install Maven.
I see some mention on other blogs of using the Surefire plugin to get
around the need for Maven 3 when using JUnit 4.
Can one use the Surefire plugin to build Junit 4 with only Maven 2 installed?
Alternatively, to install Maven 3.x with Maven 2.x installed already,
are there other XML libraries I need to get that echo task w/encoding
to be correctly executed in the build.xml file for maven 3.x ?
Because otherwise the requirements for Maven 3.x lead to Ant 1.8+
which in turn lead to JUnit 4 (I think) and that leads back to Maven
3.x --hence my difficulty.
And thanks Stuart for pointing out that one can tell ant to skip the
junit tests when building. I will try that as well.

Hi,
I'm under the impression this question should have actually been asked on
the user ML.
You seem to be trying to build Maven although you shouldn't have to do.
So, what are you actually trying to achieve currently?
Maven is a pure Java tool, so unless you're actually trying to hack on
Maven itself (which would mean I was wrong and you're writing to the right
list), you can use stock maven binaries available from the maven website.
As you're already able to run Ant, which is also pure Java, Maven would run
fine too (nothing architecture/OS specific).
HTH

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,
