Build strangeness and file permissions

[Brian Deacon <br...@navelplace.com>]

Greetings...

Running a clean build (went through all the usual permutations and it
doesn't seem to matter...)

Maven wants to put
geronimo-xmlbeans-plugin-DEV.jar
into my
/usr/share/maven/plugins

The build bugs out because I didn't have permissions to write to that
directory... Giving myself write permissions seems to have made the
build happy (at least it's busily crunching away right now).

Anywho... my question is... is it expected that the above file land in
maven's plugin land, or is this a script hiccup?

(Ah, build just finished... web console listening on 8080... so all
appears well.)

Pardon my maven ignorance or I'd try to hunt down the issue
myself... but is the xmlbeans plugin supposed to go out to maven, or
just stay inside the incubator-geronimo tree?

TIA,

Brian

Thanks, Jeremy.  Is this going to be around for a while?  I'm
wondering if a CurrentBuildIssues wiki page would be appropriate....

I'm guessing this is a *nix specific problem?  (Hmm... maybe distro
specific too...)

I take it this is the workaround for last month's workaround?  :)
(i.e., cd modules/maven-xmlbeans-plugin; maven rebuild; cd ../..;
maven rebuild)

Our build automatically installs generated plugins and jars into the 
shared directories (~maven/plugins and ~maven/repository respectively). 
My guess is the repository on your system is writable but the plugins 
directory is not.

We do this as we don't have a release yet so are always running on HEAD 
- this is likely to change later. Until then you should just be able to 
make ~maven/plugins/geronimo-xmlbeans-plugin-DEV writable rather than 
the whole plugins directory.
