From a clean install of RC2 and an empty local repo...
I tried a selection of the samples in the binary distro using ant scripts.
All OK
I built the source distiribution. It took a loooong time (3 hours!) to get
through it all told. In my case this seemed to be primarily that the repo
hosting EMF resources was on a go slow and the build failed and I stopped
the build thinking it had frozen a couple of times. Finaly got it to go
right through and it was clean. Not a great experience for the user but
nothing to do with RC2.
+1 for releasing it
Earlier in this thread problems were reported running the ant scripts in
the
source distribtion. This is working as designed. The ant scripts will not
work in the source disitribution as the manifest jar that they depend on is
not available. It is assumed that the use who downloads the source
distribution will do a maven build (in fact they have to do a maven build).
We could consider adding ant build capability to the samples in the src
distro but I think this can wait for future releases.
I am not sure that we could do this without making the ant scripts more
complicated. At the moment they serve as simple tutorial instructions for
building and running Tuscany applications using the binary distro. I don't
think we should add more sophisticated capabilities to these scripts if
this means losing the simplicity and clarity that they currently have.
Perhaps a reasonable comporomise for a future release would be for the
ant scripts to detect that they are running from a source distro and
produce a "nice" errror message. I don't know how hard it would be
to do this.
