Hi
we have a problem when running the tests for the core module.
The org.apache.geronimo.deployment.repository.DownloadTest fails when being executed offline or from behind a firewall. Since the VM can't establish a connection to the remote URL (http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/) the test fails causing the complete build to fail as well. Which means that currently only compilation and testing is run. Building a distribution requires local hacking (which is a bit annoying).
This sounds like standard Maven stuff.
Firstly you can use maven in offline mode (via the -o option or putting maven.mode.online=false in your build.properties (home dir or project dir).
Also you can use Maven behind firewalls by setting the HTTP proxy settings (again in your build.properties file). All this is documented on the maven site...
http://maven.apache.org/reference/user-guide.html#Using%20Proxies
I'd highly recommend a surf around the Maven website - its packaged with useful information.
