Peter, Thanks again - I'm sure it took a long time to write all this up. It wasn't in vain - I've read over this a couple times to get a feel for how all this is done and I'm going thru step by step now.

I can't get by step 7 though. I go to the jcr-server directory and run the maven clean jar:install dist but I get this: BUILD FAILED ... Cannot install file: 'C:\projects\jackrabbit\contrib\jcr-server\project.xml'. Reason: Failed to copy full contents from C:\projects\jackrabbit\contrib\jcr-server\project.xml to C:\Documents and Settings\mazz\.maven\repository\org.apache.jackrabbit\poms\org.apache.ja ckrabbit:null-1.0-SNAPSHOT.pom I'm thinking the "cd jackrabbit/contrib/jcr-server" should be "cd jackrabbit/contrib/jcr-server/server". But I'm not sure since that would imply the other subprojects like webdav, webapp and client won't be built. In any event, the README in jcr-server says you should explicitly build webdav, server, client and webapp subprojects separately and in that order. I'll let you know what else I find. Thanks again for starting this thread, definitely helpful. -- John Mazz > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter Darton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, December 09, 2005 11:21 AM > To: jackrabbit-dev@incubator.apache.org > Subject: JCR, RMI & WebDAV - draft HOWTO - revison 0.2 > > Ok, my previous post on this subject triggered a number of responses, > including a fair few corrections. > So, in order to try and salvage what's left of my dignity, I thought I > should attempt to collate all those corrections into one > place so we end > up with a single "correct" document instead of a long thread of > corrections. > I even managed to get a few more bits running, reducing my > "whinge list" > a lot :-) > > Obviously, if there are further errors in this "corrected" message, > please say so.
