hi, thanks again for the information - i changed the version in the pom.xml files in deps, javaee-api and javaee-web-api, individually built the container, deps and server modules (which is what you meant by saying i might need to build by hand, i think) and then built the top level project
it failed to build the TomEE :: Tomcat 7 thing and skipped the Java EE API Libraries thing (presumably because the latter is dependent on the former) but i did find the openejb*.war web application, which was what i was after! i renamed that to just openejb.war and copied it to my tomcat's webapps directory; i was then able to run tomcat, browse to the openejb page and install so far so good, thanks again cheers, peter -- View this message in context: http://openejb.979440.n4.nabble.com/Best-version-to-build-with-JPA-2-in-mind-tp3518952p3519983.html Sent from the OpenEJB User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
