My goal is to build Ftpserver and get it running embedded in my Spring application. My group is especially excited for the Ftplet API's potential uses.
Unfortunately, I must admit that I'm new to both Ftpserver and (especially) Maven. What I've done so far: ---------------------- Last night, I downloaded SVN and Maven and decided to jump right in. I checked out the code and tried building, immediately running into the build problem that was previously reported. I was able to apply Niklas's recommended changes to /pom.xml (http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00111.ht ml) and run the mvn install command (with -Dmaven.test.skip=true) but didn't know what to do after that. At that time, I figured I'd try running the package command in /distribution and see where that got me. It failed, complaining that it couldn't find admin-gui. I referred to the mailing list archive again and saw that admin-gui was moved to the sandbox. So I checked it out, but failed to get it built before it was time to leave for the night. Today, I read Niklas's post about checking in a corrected pom.xml and a patched distribution (http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00112.ht ml). In haste I trashed the Ftpserver directory(and my saved maven output with it >.<) and went to do a fresh checkout. Sadly, the SVN seems to be having a fit this afternoon, so I'm stuck in limbo. What I'm hoping for: -------------------- While waiting for the SVN to come up so I can fiddle some more, I figured it wouldn't hurt to write you all in hopes of getting some more detailed instructions / exact steps to get Ftpserver embedded, starting from the build. Only other question at this time: Yesterday I noticed that the /distribution came pre-populated with binaries and such. Are they usable? |John
