Hi Paul, For all questions on building XWiki please check the following page which answers your 2 questions from below: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building
In short: * For the build, you need to configure the xwiki remote repo in your settings.xml if you don't intend to rebuild the whole source tree * For the MySQL profile, you need to configure a MySQL db. Again see: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building#HBuildingforaspecificdatabase Thanks -Vincent On Jan 2, 2008, at 2:09 AM, Paul Libbrecht wrote: > thanks Cristian, > > had forgotten about profiles (which also seem to be about > applications...). > In any case... now I see my mvn build throws a lot of exceptions > (not fatal errors) because it could not connect to the DB which, > indeed, I had not configured. > > Is that needed or ignoreable ?
