Latest Code Build Troubles

[Mark DeLaFranier <de...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I just downloaded the latest code and I am having a few issues building.  I 
was following the BUILDING.TXT file and I have observed the following:

(g:\ is the root for the source and contains the directories: applications, 
docs_nopublish ...)

-------------------------
CASE 1:

g:\> maven > build.log 2>&1

The build fails with :

BUILD FAILED
File...... G:\maven.xml
Element... maven:reactor
Line...... 454
Column.... 27
The build cannot continue because of the following unsatisfied dependency:
geronimo-spec-servlet-2.4-SNAPSHOT.jar
Total time: 14 seconds
Finished at: Fri Oct 15 12:17:45 EDT 2004

-------------------------
CASE 2:

I also tried to just build and run the server,

g:\> cd modules/assembly
g:\modules\assembly> maven > build.log 2>&1

This results in a lot of unresolved dependancies, I suspect these are 
missing since the root directory build failed.

Attempting to download commons-jelly-tags-velocity-SNAPSHOT.jar.
Attempting to download geronimo-client-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar.
WARNING: Failed to download geronimo-client-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar.
Attempting to download geronimo-client-builder-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar.
WARNING: Failed to download geronimo-client-builder-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar.
Attempting to download geronimo-clustering-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar.
WARNING: Failed to download geronimo-clustering-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar.
Attempting to download geronimo-common-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar.
WARNING: Failed to download geronimo-common-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar.

This seems stragen, as these appear to be modules that look like they should 
be built, unclear as to why the build system would attempt to download 
these.

-------------------------
CASE 3:

Lets try to fix CASE 1 so that CASE 2 will work.  I poked around looing for 
references to servlet-2.4.  I found that in the modules\jetty\project.xml, 
we have a reference to

        <!-- these are just needed to run the unit tests -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>geronimo-spec</groupId>
            <artifactId>geronimo-spec-servlet</artifactId>
            <version>&geronimo-spec-servlet-version;</version>
        </dependency>

and inside the version-info.ent we have:

<!ENTITY geronimo-spec-servlet-version "2.4-SNAPSHOT">

Now, this is where I am stuck.  Where should this file come from?

Thanks
