Hi,
After using beta8 for several weeks, I tried unsuccessfully several times to
build Maven from source. In the end, I discovered that if you have a
${user.home}/build.properties file, this must be deleted or temporarilly
renamed before starting the bootstrap build. This crucial bit of info is
missing from the docs at http://maven.apache.org/start/bootstrap.html. In my
case, I had an overridden maven.repo.local property pointing to my beta8
repo cache. This seemed to be the culprit that was causing the bootstrap
builds to fail. In the end, it seems safest just to make sure that you do
not have any $user.home/build.properties file before starting the build.
Maybe someone can update the docs?
