You downloaded the source. The jars PB depends on are managed through Maven 2, which downloads jars as needed. > repository?). It's still not building without errors (missing jetty, log4j, > retroweaver, libidn, sesame, whirlycache). I think I might be able to Errors in Eclipse? If you run 'ant' on the command line, does it build? The latest copy of PB I have relies on the Maven plugin for Eclipse, as mentioned in the PB Development wiki page, but not particularly explained. Right clicking on your piggy bank project should include a Maven2 option in your context menu. Have you enabled it for PB? This allows Eclipse to use Maven for managing jars. > make headway from here (unless of course you are feeling generous and think > I'll screw this up ;-) I've updated our documentation for Eclipse users. It will probably change in the near future. We've moved away from the Maven2 plugin in our other projects and will do it with PB soon enough. -- Ryan Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] MIT CSAIL Research Staff http://simile.mit.edu/ http://people.csail.mit.edu/ryanlee/ _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general
