I'll get back to you in just on bit on which database we are targeting. I'm still very new to the project and not entirely sure to be honest. I've asked for that information and will get back to you.
As far as building the source. We need to target 1.5 due to it's increased support for secure logins. I've been using the instructions from this page, http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.5/building-trunks.html. It's quite possible that I've just simply missed a step or done something silly since some of these tools are still new to me. I have installed Maven 2.0.4. I've installed SVN and run the command svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/apacheds/trunk-with-dependencies/ apacheds-trunk Then, inside the directory apacheds-trunk I run mvn install. Here are the errors I'm getting. Failed tests: testOneEntryImport(org.apache.directory.server.tools.commands.importcmd.Import CommandTest) testTenEntriesImport(org.apache.directory.server.tools.commands.importcmd.Impo rtCommandTest) testTwoEntriesImportOneOnErrorAndOneOk(org.apache.directory.server.tools.comma nds.importcmd.ImportCommandTest) testOneEntryImportWithEntryAddedNotification(org.apache.directory.server.tools .commands.importcmd.ImportCommandTest) testRFC2849Sample1(org.apache.directory.server.tools.commands.importcmd.Import CommandTest) testRFC2849Sample2(org.apache.directory.server.tools.commands.importcmd.Import CommandTest) testRFC2849Sample3(org.apache.directory.server.tools.commands.importcmd.Import CommandTest) testRFC2849Sample3VariousSpacing(org.apache.directory.server.tools.commands.im portcmd.ImportCommandTest) testExportCommand(org.apache.directory.server.tools.commands.exportcmd.ExportC ommandTest) testOneEntryImport(org.apache.directory.server.tools.commands.gracefulshutdown cmd.GracefulShutdownCommandTest) My guess is I've just missed something simple. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
