Emmanuel, Your advice was superb. That fixed the problem. Once I added the working directory and path to the module in the scm url it all worked. The reasons for my problems were this:
1. I did not understand what a working directory was and therefore skipped the configuration setting for this. It would be helpful if the web page for configuration has simple help text explaining what these setting are. The unfortunate term of 'working directory' is subjective and a more descriptive term should have been used. Something like 'project root directory'. Tooltip text should be added with further descriptions. Build output directory term should also be changed. Its really should be "Build Log Directory'. A new user might be misled thinking that all the build artifacts (class, jar, Javadoc, etc) are being placed here. 2. Did not understand that I had to add a scm element to every pom.xml even when I have multi-module structure with a parent pom. For continuum the scm in the parent pom.xml should be sufficient for all the child poms in the module subdirectories. Defining the scm in the sub poms is redundant. -----Original Message----- From: Emmanuel Venisse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 9:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ContinuumBuildExecutorException: Could not find Maven project descriptor The 'working directory' is the directory where your files will be checkout ($CONTINUUM_HOME/apps/continuum/working_directory/<projectId>). The pom.xml of your project must be there. If it isn't that, your scm url is wrong. Your scm url is 'scm:cvs:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/Repository:project' so you must have your pom.xml in /home/Repository/project in cvs. For your project, scm url must something like this : scm:cvs:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/Repository:project/..../modules/myproject Emmanuel Johnson, Jonathan a écrit : >>>You don't have a pom.xml in your working directory. > > > What does 'working directory' mean.
