I've read that JIRA [axis2-5752] was fixed. So I did an SVN UPDATE to the trunk.
I tried to rebuild to see the fix working and, indeed, as I expected it from the axis developers that JAVA WSDL builds now perfect. Thanks, However, now I get another build abort a few modules down, which I report here, ready to file a JIRA if needed. I just did a mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true to the trunk and it fails Josef [INFO] [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Building Apache Axis2 - JAXWS 1.8.0-SNAPSHOT [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] [INFO] --- maven-enforcer-plugin:1.1:enforce (default) @ axis2-jaxws --- [INFO] [INFO] --- alta-maven-plugin:0.4:generate-properties (default) @ axis2-jaxws --- [INFO] [INFO] --- maven-remote-resources-plugin:1.5:process (default) @ axis2-jaxws --- [INFO] [INFO] --- maven-resources-plugin:2.4.2:resources (default-resources) @ axis2-jaxws --- [INFO] Using 'UTF-8' encoding to copy filtered resources.
