[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIR-196?page=all ]
Emmanuel Lecharny closed DIR-196. --------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed The shared-asn1A sub project expected it's parent version to be 0.9.6-SNAPSHOT while the shared pom.xml's version was 0.9.5.3 Thaks maven for the very explicit error message !!! [INFO] Error building POM (may not be this project's POM). Project ID: null:shared-asn1:jar:null Reason: Cannot find parent: org.apache.directory.shared:build for project: null:shared-asn1:jar:null very clear, indeed. I really appreciated the "null:xxxx:null". May be "null:" is used instead of quote to delimitate the messages? grrrrrrrr > Cannot build Trunks > ------------------- > > Key: DIR-196 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIR-196 > Project: Directory > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: build-failure.txt > > > Again, and I'm pretty sure this is not the last time, the trunks cannot be > built... > At this point, I really think we should *SERIOUSLY* consider switching from a > so called "build system" (Maven 2) to something that may be not genious, but > which _simply_ work. > It's not the first time the build is broken, and I agree that somebody may > have made an error while committing a pom.xml, but it's obviously insane that > a simple error cannot be fixed because we can't figure out what is the origin > of the error without checking every commits for the last modification which > has caused the build to fail - if an only if a commmit is the culprit, > because maven is really used to s***t its own pant by downloading new version > of (broken) plugins -. > I'm really fed up of maven. It's supposed to *help*, noy to make you loosing > your time. And even if the hypothesis of me being a complete idiot - an > option which cannot be discarded -, then maven whould be designed for idiots > like me. This is not the case. > Maven concepts looks like the current build of apache DS : totally broken. > Let's ditch this piece of shi^h^hoftware out of our path. No more hurdles. > Let's use make, ./configure, or simply ant. Somtheing that works.
