wiki should be updated for newbies

I guess the wiki should be updated for newbies like me. I have been
trying to build geronimo since the last 4 days, and have been facing
build problems. I just followed the steps in the "for the impatient"
section of the wiki. 

Until i received help from David Jencks and Craig , i didnt know why
this was happening. So i guess the "for the impatient" section

http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/Building#head-bfda3b0490aa0721b5b3d94d1652a563cc16e6f6

should be updated and the instructions should be changed to include a
multiproject install. See the comments from David Jencks below:-

Jeremy,

I got a login for the wiki. I am still trying to build geronimo
following David's instructions. If i dont get a build failure, i will
update the wiki. Otherwise, i think i should wait for a successful
build, before i update the wiki. 

Thanks

karan

Karan

Sorry for the hassle over the last four days - there is currently a 
burst of activity around deployment that is affecting several projects 
and it is disruptive even for old timers :-)

Having just been though it, can I suggest you update the wiki with your 
experience while it is still fresh - all you need is a login to it.

Thanks
Jeremy

On a related note. Is the Todo section in the wiki updated as well?

Re: wiki should be updated for newbies

Posted by David Jencks <dj...@gluecode.com>.
There must be some difference in our environments.  I just rechecked on  
a fresh checkout of geronimo and had no problems running maven  
getotherprojects.  Nothing related to these projects is in my .cvspass  
file.

I'm running on mac osx 10.3.3.

Can you provide more details of your environment?  Could others report  
their experiences?

many thanks

The getotherprojects goal fails if one does not have the entries in the  
.cvspass
So it should be recommended for the new newbee to do at least one login  
for having this in his .cvspass file.
And if one go the way stepwise he perform a checkout on activemq four  
times until the getotherprojects goal succeeded.

done this, been there

These are built into the getotherprojects goal.  You can override the  
-d:pserver:anonymous part if you are a committer on one or more of  
these projects.
