4) after all this, the tests still don't run because of the following


error:


java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Bad specification version format
'1.0-alpha-4' in 'fulcrum-crypto-api'. (Reason:
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "0-alpha-4")

The above exception is a result of a bug in an early version of the
maven jar plugin.  If you take a look a the jar manifest you will see an
extensions list that is comma delimited.  The manifest spec states that
this is space delimited.  The solution here is to update to a more
recent version of maven - or just update the jar plugin.jelly.

Cheers, Steve.



Sorry to come back after that much time.


I've rebuilt maven from CVS (1.0-rc2-SNAPSHOT), and the error is still
there.
Looking at it again, your explaination doesn't buy me. I've looked at the
manifest for fulcrum-crypto-api and there are not comma separated lists. On
the other hand the error message is clear: NumberFormatException for input
string "0-alpha-4". It seems that somewhere inside avalon extension the
parsing of version strings is not that flexible.


From a hazy memory of the Sun manifest spec. a specification version is a dewy decimal. After all - dependencies declared in a manifest can reference a something like 1.2 and this will match an extension with 1.2.3.


My guess is you need to update the specification version property.


After some browsing I've not been able to find where in the cvs repository is stored org/apache/avalon/extension/Extension.java, I'd like to take a look at the code: what module should I checkout ?


avalon/merlin/


The extension handling is in the extensions subproject.

Cheers, Steve.
