Hi,
i spent a few hours searching the mailing-list about this issue. It
seems to be the No. 1 FAQ, so please help me (and a lot of others) out
and answer this thread if you have some information.
My Task: i need the myFaces (|| tomahawk || sandbox) sources.
What i did: read the f** manual. In lack of the manual, i read this list
and the myfaces Wiki.
I searched this list for 'sources' which gives me 369 hits, mostly poor
guys like me in desperate search for the sources. The frequently
answered answer is: 'simply look in
http://cvs.apache.org/builds/myfaces/nightly/, they are all there'. This
information seems to be a deprecated, there are no sources in the
nightly directory any more :-(
Whats´s next ? Let´s have a look in the Wiki. There is an article
'Building With Maven' which explains how to check out the sources and
build it with maven. Sounds great and just three little steps to get
through.
Step1 - Get SVN Client: I´m using Eclipse, so the subclipse plugin
sounds good for me. Now, i can browse through the branches in Eclipse,
but i can't checkout without building a new project for the branch.
That´s rather not what i want, i just need a directory :-(
Step2 - Install Maven: this works fine for me. I downloaded it and added
it to the classpath. 'maven --version' works ;-)
Step3 - mvn install: ooohh, tons of text in my shell, some warnings,
errors etc. After a few minutes, it´s over, but nothing happened in my
project directory.
Removing the sources from the nightly directory and switching to Maven
were two decisions from ASF that brought a lot of confusion to the
community (or i am the only Dummie around).
Can anyone be so kind and point me the actual way to the sources ?
