Regarding the docbook network connection exception:

On my notebook, I block unauthorized out-going connections, so I always
get this error whenever running buildDocBook task.

I remember somebody said that checkstyle had the same problem, but it
did not happen on my notebook.

I think I know the reason: in both case, there are configuration files
(xml files) refering dtd or xsd schemas on the internet. If a validating
parser is used internally, then the parser has to go online to retrieve
the schema. The problem arises when network does not fail _completely_,
the parse has to wait for a response until it times out.

It's pain. I always want to investigate whether it's possible to modify
the tool somehow so that it won't go online to fetch the schema, but I
am always short of time... and I end up only running buildDocBook on my
workstation. Maybe we can log it as a trivial jira issue.

Cheers,

Cedric

Today's build failures have two causes:

(1) hackystat-ALL failed due to a compile error in hackyCourse (a JDom
upgrade induced problem).  That's totally my bad; I somehow spaced out
hackyCourse when I went through all the modules.

I will check in the fixed version of hackyCourse later today and rebuild
hackystat-ALL.

(2) Hackystat-UH failed due to:

Fatal Error! Failure reading
file:///C:/CruiseControls/instance-UH/hacky/hackyBuild/build/docbook/tmp/in
dex.docbook.xml Cause: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out:
connect

This looks like it might be a transient network problem.  To check, I am
initiating a rebuild of Hackystat-UH right now. We'll see what happens in a
half an hour.

Cheers,
Philip
