building ftpserver

[Peter Schellenberg <pe...@bluewin.ch>]

Hello

I am an it student at the university of winterthur, Switzerland and I am
having difficulties building the ftpserver. We are testing this ftpserver in
our project and we are very eager to getting it to work.

My first problem was to find the path according to the instructions on
http://mina.apache.org/building-ftpserver.html.
The path http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/mina/sandbox/ftpserver/trunk/ is
not working. After checking it, I've noticed that the "sandbox" directory
doesn't exit anymore. Therefore I've used the following path:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/mina/ftpserver/trunk/; but I'm not sure if
it's the right on.

After downloading the source files I've tried compiling and running all unit
tests which wasn't successful. The build failed with a lot of errors. I have
attached a screenshot with the errors. I have also tried the next step of
the instructions: $ mvn install # Build packages (JARs) and install them to
the local Maven repository
but it failed as well. At the end I've tried the following step of the
instructions
$ mvn eclipse:eclipse # Generate Eclipse project files if you want
which was successful but only generated three xml files and not a eclipse
project.

This ftpserver is perfect for our project and as my knowledge of maven is
very little I would be very grateful if somebody could help me with the
setup.

Best regards

Hi Peter,

I've also downloaded it from

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/mina/ftpserver/trunk/


and successfully built it using

mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true install

to avoid the failing tests. The resulting jars seem to be working fine for 
the simple use cases. I havent tried out any sophisticated authentication or 
IP filtering so far

The code was recently moved, I've updated the page in the
documentation. Sorry about the confusion.

Are you running with the very latest code, could you please do an SVN
update and try building again? If it still fails I'm very interested
in fixing it. I'm afraid the screenshot wasn't attached or got removed
by the mail server. Could you please take a copy of the output from
the maven, for example by running:

mvn test > maven.log

Could you send that file as well as the files in
core\target\surefire-reports as a ZIP file to me directly and I'll
have a look at it. Since a few days ago, no tests should break.

Glad to here FtpServer would be good for you. Feel free asking any
questions relating to the project on this list and someone will help
you out :-)
