Thanks for the hint Stefano. That helped. I've made it through many years of Java programming and somehow avoided maven (until now). That appeared to be a command line, so I went to where I had the Piggy Bank project (under the Eclipse work directory), and typed the command. Things started downloading. I'm not sure why (didn't I already download it from the SVN repository?). It's still not building without errors (missing jetty, log4j, retroweaver, libidn, sesame, whirlycache). I think I might be able to make headway from here (unless of course you are feeling generous and think I'll screw this up ;-) --Dale-- _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general
