Build from SVN sources

Hi all, I'm trying to build Jasperintel following the instructions from mthe developer guide.I have both jasperserver and jasperserver-repo but when I try "mvn install" or "mvn clean install" the build process fails with the following message:

Code:

[iNFO] Building Jasper Server API Implementations - Metadata

....

I think something is wrong in settings.xml, maybe there should be a local pluginRepository.

Any suggestion?

TIA

I had the same problem. Run Maven with -U (mvn -U ...) This should update the plugins.

mvn -U is a good trick.

 

Keep in mind that your settings.xml needs to be in your "home" directory (which can be confusing under windows) under a dir named .m2. Check to see that you settings.xml has a good format (if you copied it from the source build document, it could have bad characters in it...).

 

Maven2 will create a "repository" directory inside your .m2 directory. This is a "local repository" (for caching). This is where the plugins should end up. You can blow away your repository directory and let it get created again.
