Hi, I was having the same problem as Jorn using the default version of Maven from Ubuntu. I have upgraded it to 2.2.1 and can now build UIMA but still cannot build the TikaAnnotator.
When doing svn install in the TikaAnnotator directory I am getting : *Reason: Cannot find parent: org.apache.uima:SandboxDistr for project: org.apache.uima:TikaAnnotator:jar:2.3.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT for project org.apache.uima:TikaAnnotator:jar:2.3.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT* I then tried to build SandboxDistr but am getting : *antrun:run {execution: CopyLicenseNoticeDisclaimer}] [INFO] Executing tasks [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] An Ant BuildException has occured: /usr/local/bin/uimaj-distr/src/main/readme not found.* whereas my uimaj-distr is actually located in a different directory (* /usr/local/bin/uima-svn/uimaj-distr* with the sandbox in*/usr/local/bin/uima-sandbox-svn *). Is there an implicit requirement for the sandbox to be located within the main UIMA directory? Once the sandbox is put inside the main uima dir everything compiles OK.
