I have to admit I'm a newbie to Maven, I'm following directions from 2 different sites with similar instructions to build Glassfish on FreeBSD. I actually only want Glassfish, but apparently this is the process I must follow... but after several days of searching, looking for workarounds and fixes I cannot find anything that resolves this, and yet I can't believe I'm the only one with this problem!
I downloaded the source package from Glassfish, but during my searches for how to build it (as there is no readme or any other instructions) I discovered I needed to cvs it. I also discovered I needed to add glassfish.cvstag=SJSAS91_UR2_BRANCH to the project.properties file. In any case I get to the bootstrap stage and the build fails because of a mountain of unsatisfied dependencies. It seems maven simply can't download the files required because I could manually download them. The error appears to be a server down/file not found as near as I can tell from my investigations online, but this is not the case. I've added repos but still have had no success. One repo that I have navigated to is http://download.java.net/javaee5/external/shared, and this appears to contain all the files needed. I'm assuming there must be something I'm doing but I haven't the slightest as to what. Any clues? This is becoming a huge project just to get the server built... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
