Web application build error

[Dave Cardon <dc...@adobe.com>]

Hi,

I'm trying to get zeppelin to build OOB on a minimal CentOS 7 install.  I followed the README.md instructions.  My first snag was an issue getting bower installed, which I was able to work past by manually installing bower globally (npm -g install bower) prior to running the maven install.

I'm now running into an issue building the web application modules.  There are no exceptions in the maven logs, but I get this build failure error message:

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Has anyone here run into this issue before and has a workaround?

Thanks,
