You're using Fedora's mvn-jpp instead of the official Maven version, so I suspect you're hitting some compatibility issue between them. If the build works with normal mvn, then you should probably contact the Fedora people for ideas on how to fix this.

Well, I'm trying to build a package for Fedora. Full build logs with -e are
at http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/rpmbuild.log
Not much useful even with -e.
The file is referenced here:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0.1</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>
<instructions>
<Bundle-DocURL>http://pdfbox.apache.org/</Bundle-DocURL>
<Include-Resource>
{maven-resources},
META-INF=target/maven-shared-archive-resources/META-INF,
org/apache/pdfbox/resources=target/classes/org/apache/pdfbox/resources
</Include-Resource>
</instructions>
</configuration>
</plugin>
But I can't imagine where that META-INF file is supposed to come from.

Everything works fine here. What exactly did you try to do? Have you try to add
the "-e" switch to get more information about the build process?

I get the following error trying to build from source:
[INFO] [bundle:bundle {execution: default-bundle}]
[ERROR] Error building bundle org.apache.pdfbox:pdfbox:bundle:1.4.0 : Input
file does not exist: target/maven-shared-archive-resources/META-INF

I'm not sure where this file is supposed to come from.

Awesome, thanks!
I don't see anything about the DocumentCatelog having the setVersion method.
Did that make it into this release?
