Hi all, I am getting started with Apache Rave. My goal is to extend it to make my own portal, but first I need to deploy it on Tomcat 7 and replace the H2 database by MySQL.
I tried to follow steps on http://rave.apache.org/documentation/installing.html but when I type mvn -Pdist I get an error complaining about some test failed (See Appendix 1) Also, how should I proceed if I want to use Rave as the core of my own custom portal and customize it to use my own Tomcat 7 container (not its bundled tomcat6 through cargo) and my own database? Should I generate my own distribution as I was trying to do and start from there tweaking it? or should I better extend Rave as described in documentation by getting the Archetype? I'm a little bit confused but I assume the "Archetype way" is a way of getting the latest Rave version and a way to overwrite it, while the "Building my own distribution with mvn -Pdist" is a way to be able to modify Rave directly instead overwriting it. Am I right? Any advice on this error and on getting started to reach my goal would be much appreciated. Thank you!
