Eric,
Many thanks for your reply. Actually I am in the process of starting from
scratch now. I have manage to build james since my ast.jar was corrupted
and I manually download a one from maven repo. Now it is building without
any change but I need to start from eclipse using m2eclipse plugin but I am
still facing the var and config needs to setup on the two newly created
project as recommended from the site since they contain the database base
(derby connection )and other..
I will give it a try today and see what happens.

Cheers
Alan M
