Hi Gary, Have you managed to find this page:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOT/2+Building And verified you have the necessary dependencies defined here: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOT/2.2+Dependencies I apologize if you have already gone through all this, but looking at your problem below it appears you just done have the jai extensions properly. And you are correct, we are lacking information about working with the library via maven snapshots. Especially for those new to maven. A while back someone was working on creating a "maven archetype" for geotools. What this would do is basically allow people to run a single maven command, and it would create the shell of a maven project that contains all the necessary configuration to correctly depend on geotools snapshots. However I am not sure how far that got or what state it is in. -Justin Gary Lucas wrote: > I have spent the entire day trying unsuccessfully to build software > from the GeoTools source distribution in gt2-2.3.0-src.zip and > am beginning to think that there is some critical information that > is known to the developers but not posted on the GeoTools web site. > I am sure that this is just an oversite, and can be easily corrected. > I was wondering if anyone could offer me some suggestions. > > As luck would have it, the mailing list archives on SourceForge have > been down all afternoon, so I haven't been able to search them > to see if this is a known problem.
