Getting started building struts from source - need a little help

[Daniel Rabe <dr...@opentext.com>]

I'm trying to build struts from current CVS source. I've run into a couple
of issues and thought I'd mention them here (because I don't know what else
to do with them):

- If I want to run test.junit, it looks like I still have to set up the
cactus properties, because the init target in build-tests.xml does the
taskdef for runservertests. If I don't have the properties defined
correctly, the init fails.

- In order to get the taskdef for RunServerTestsTask to work, I had to add
commons-logging.jar to the taskdef classpath. I'm using Cactus 1.5-rc1;
should I be using a different version?

- I also tried building from maven (thought it would save me the hassle of
finding all the jars and editing build.properties). It fails, unable to find
commons-validator-1.1.1.

- I wanted to write some junit tests for upload (in reference to Bugzilla
Bug 23255, FormFile.getFileName() problem in multibyte character file name).
It looks like there are some unit tests there, but by default they are not
executed. When I do execute them (by adding another batchtest in the
test.junit target), they fail. Is this expected?

Thanks,
Daniel Rabe

If you look at some of my earlier messages you'll see I encountered the 
problem as well.  You notice that Joe Germuska was even kind enough to 
add a comment to the project.xml as I suggested.  So you can go and get 
the jar for the new validator from the URL in the comment below and then 
put it in your maven repository.  For further information, here's the 
comment from the project.xml:

     <!--
        Note that this version of commons-validator is not yet
        served from the iBiblio repository.  You can download
        a distribution from 
http://www.apache.org/~rleland/ValidatorAlpha/1.1.1/        or build it 
from the CVS repository.  (With Maven, you can use
        the goal jar:install to build a jar and put it in your Maven 
repository.)
                                                                               
        If you download the binary, don't forget to rename to include 
the version number
        (from "commons-validator.jar" to "commons-validator-1.1.1.jar"
                                                                               
        If you build it from the CVS repository, you will probably end 
up with
        version 1.1.2-dev.  You can tell Maven to use that version with 
Struts
        by editing your "build.properties" file in the root of your local
        copy of the Struts CVS distribution.  Include these two lines:
        maven.jar.override=on
        maven.jar.commons-validator=1.1.2-dev
