Hi, On a Ubuntu .
Did he following: Downloaded the latest source tarball from: http://people.apache.org/~devinhan/odftoolkit-release/odftoolkit-0.5-incubating-rc7/ Installed maven from the Ubuntu repos. Used the command: mvn clean install output follows: Apache Maven 2.2.1 (rdebian-4) Java version: 1.6.0_22 Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "linux" version: "2.6.38-11-generic" arch: "amd64" Family: "unix" [INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Building Maven Default Project [INFO] task-segment: [clean, install] [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Cannot execute mojo: clean. It requires a project with an existing pom.xml, but the build is not using one.

Where would I find that beast? Thanks for your time and patience, Drew
