validator: can I build with maven w/o commons-build?

[Marco Carbone <mc...@cyber.law.harvard.edu>]

Hi all,

I've been trying to build commons-validator using maven, but I'm getting 
the following error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: Parent POM not found: 
/space/home/mcarbone/tools/commons-build/project.xml

This is the case because I have no idea what the commons-build directory 
is or where I could find it.  Since the commons-validator/project.xml 
file refers to this commons-build directory, it seems like I need it.  
How could I get it, or failing that, can I build commons-validator 
without it?  Thanks,

Marco Carbone

I am trying to build "maven jar" to just create a jar file.  Even if I
explicitly call "maven jar," I get the commons-build error.

Which maven target are you trying to build?
eg "maven jar", "maven dist", "maven site"?

Some targets do need commons-build to be present as a "sibling"
directory to the one that you are trying to build (commons-validator in
this case). These targets are mostly the ones related to building
website stuff, as commons-build has the common stylesheets etc. However
it is expected that only the project maintainers will need to do these
tasks.

The target "maven jar" should not need commons-build. This target will
create the .jar files needed to *use* validator. And this is the default
target.

If you do want to build the related website, commons-build is in the
subversion repository along with all the other commons stuff.

Regards,

Simon
