--- Comment #3 from Vasili <[email protected]> --- I just tried svn co and although I have set up a proxy - it does not work in our environment (either proxy has a problem or it's a problem with svn: I tried different svn clients including cygwin svn and TortoiseSVN). So, remote checkout does not work for me. It would be more convenient if you could have conventional tarball or zip containing at least some snapshots downloadable. Since they seems to be not existent - I use src release distributions. So, the second option remaining. As you suggested, I've copied lib from bin distribution but it still does not contain all jars required, and I'm getting error again (hamcrest-core-1.3.jar is missing in lib and maven tries to download): -----8<------ testexist: downloadfile: [get] Getting: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/hamcrest/hamcrest-core/1. 3/hamcrest-core-1.3.jar [get] To: C:\poi-src-3.11-20141221\poi-3.11_fixed\lib\hamcrest-core-1.3.ja r [get] Error getting http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/hamcrest/hamcrest-co re/1.3/hamcrest-core-1.3.jar to C:\poi-src-3.11-20141221\poi-3.11_fixed\lib\hamc rest-core-1.3.jar BUILD FAILED C:\poi-src-3.11-20141221\poi-3.11_fixed\build.xml:450: The following error occur red while executing this line: C:\poi-src-3.11-20141221\poi-3.11_fixed\build.xml:387: java.net.ConnectException : Connection timed out: connect at java.net.DualStackPlainSocketImpl.connect0(Native Method) at java.net.DualStackPlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(DualStackPlainSocketI mpl.java:79) -----8<------ Does POI have any binary distributions containing EVERYTHING necessary for it's building, so there will be no need to download automatically? Just a tarball or zip. Yes, I can download that particular jar directly (hamcrest) but as I remember, in the past I already tried to download all the dependencies manually, a dozen of files from different places, but got some missing OpenOffice file or something else (don't remember) which gave me a conflict or error. What will you suggest? The only restriction we have is the proxy, so maven, svn, wget or other automatic downloads do not work. What we need to build a source and all the dependencies should be here, locally. That's it. in the past (before maven it was so simple! Even with the plain ant, not speaking about pre-ant times, i.e. make, how the Opensource had been distributed 90s). Sorry for complaining here, I'm just tired of inconveniences introduced by the technologies themselves for the sake of technology, especially when it is not absolutely necessary and making software building procedures less portable. In my belief, the OpenSource software, to be successful, should be buildable under any field conditions, without internet connection, even in field conditions. So, everybody will be able to build it - not only the experts.
