Re: Building OODT

Victor,

As for hsqldb, here's a tar of my version which built for me (1.8.0.7)

I was only able to see a txt file from your post no tarball.

Tom,

Did you get the tarball Victor provided from his posting?  If not let us
know.



Best Regards,

Cameron

Hm, does the mailing list not take attachments? Is there somewhere specific I 
should upload it?

Yes, by default, the mailing lists will strip tarballs and other large
attachments.

You can download hsqldb 1.8.0.7 from:

http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/hsqldb/hsqldb/1.8.0.7/

I think it's fair to say that this is part of the maven building experience,
for better or for worse.  Maven is automatically downloading a variety of
dependencies from a variety of locations, and sometimes the mirrors from
which it is downloading are less than responsive.  I suppose if I had my
way, maven would do a better job of gracefully handling unresponsive or slow
mirrors -- and of communicating what is going on to the user.

Whenever I get annoyed at it, I remind myself that the alternative would be
to download the dependencies manually, which would also be pretty annoying.

On a philosophical note, I do wonder if systems like maven encourage
excessive dependencies and reliance on external libraries.  For large
projects like OODT, you watch literally tens or hundreds of dependencies go
by and unless you're extremely curious and meticulous, you probably never
bother to see what they are, what they do, etc.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your message! Just as an FYI, your messages are getting through. One 
way to check is that you can visit any of the public archives for Apache 
projects, specifically you can find the OODT ones here [1] or here [2]. A lot 
of times I just Google and I can find them (b/c the archives are publicly 
indexed). So good job, you've got them through! :)

Now, onto some help below...

 
 Here is a summary of my discoveries:
 * mvn install 'freezes' when downloading some dependencies. I've tested and
 even wget freezes. A ^C and a restart completes the download, but it seems
 like odd behavior. It could very well be an issue on my side, but I thought
 I would mention it.

Thanks for the heads up, here. Several OODT devs and users seem to be 
experiencing this too. Basically it has to do with the quality of the external 
dependency provider. In r1023552 [3] I added an external repository to the 
oodt/core/pom.xml file so that oodt/pushpull would build (it has an external 
dependency on Cog JGlobus for one of its FTP providers in the protocol layer). 
I think that this particular repository may be causing some issues for folks 
who don't already have a local copy of the jar files downloaded by Maven. 

The nice thing is like some other folks have pointed out, once you get the 
jars, you don't need to download them again, but one quick workaround might be 
to femove that repository from your local checkout of oodt/core/pom.xml in the 
repo definition section. If you do that, and your build speeds up, we can file 
an issue in JIRA to maybe remove that repo and find a more reliable provider

 * There are some dependencies that may need to be fixed (or perhaps I need
 to update my maven configuration)
 
 My two problem dependencies so far are:
 * Tika-0.8-SNAPSHOT

Yep. The 0.1-incubating version of OODT relied on the latest version of Tika at 
the time (0.8-SNAPSHOT) because were kind of in between Tika releases. When I 
pushed the Tika 0.8 official release out, the Maven snapshots repository at 
Apache ceased to have that snapshot. 

Dave Kale fixed this in the latest trunk version (0.2-incubating) in OODT-59 
[4], so you could grab the latest trunk version from SVN by doing the following:

1. svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/oodt/trunk ./oodt
2. cd oodt
3. execute build process as normal

Or, alternatively you could just grab the patch for OODT-59 and apply it 
locally to your checkout. Either way should work fine.

 * hsqldb-1.8.0.7

I think Justin mentioned that he found this dependency in a different 
repository, but I actually found it in Maven Central, here [5]. I'm wondering 
if you ran into some intermittent network connectivity issue with Maven 
Central. Can you check [5] and see if that works for you Tom?


 My solutions for these have been:
 * Build Tika jar file from source and run the following command: mvn
 install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.tika -DartifactId=tika-core
 -Dversion=0.8-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=test.jar

Wow, for being new to Maven (and Tika likely) you did a great job working 
around this! :)

 * I've changed the catalog pom.xml file to use hsqldb version 1.8.0.10, but
 the error still occurs. I see that executeBatch is
 in: org/hsqldb/jdbc/JDBCStatement.java for later versions of hsqldb.

Gotcha. Yep try grabbing the dependency from [5] (or see if Maven will download 
it for you now -- it should automatically check Maven Central).

 
 I'm not sure what the best solution is for hsqldb. Any help welcome. Perhaps
 the short term solution is for someone to send me a copy of their hsqldb
 directory from .m2/repository :)

HTH!

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks Victor, yep the M/L filtered it out. Tom should be able to get it from 
here though:
