Error building JBoss manual

[rickhoro]

I downloaded the JBoss manual project from CVS to get the latest version of the Getting Started for JBoss 3.0. I've run into 2 problems when trying to build the manual.

****** Problem 1: *********

I cd'd into the top level directory of "manual" and typed "ant" at the prompt.

When I tried this, I discovered that the build.xml file is looking for a tools directory in the manual's download directory. I copied the tools directory from the jboss-all cvs download directory. This fixed the first problem...ant is now found and the build process starts.

**** Problem 2: *******

Once the build starts running I get an error message: (as reported in build.log) referring to (line 292 of build.xml). Below is a snippet from build.xml, with build.log shown below that.

Any help would be very much appreciated... Thanks.

I've never had any problem building JBoss - which leads me to ask, did you check out the whole thing? You need to check out the module called jboss-all

[rickhoro]

Thanks for your response.

I'm not having a problem building jboss-all. I'm having a problem building the "manual" module, which doesn't seem to be included in jboss-all. If you do a cvs checkout for module "manual", you'll see what I mean.

Would still appreciate some help with this. This Getting Started manual for JBoss 3.0 looks to be very useful and would be easier to use if I could run the formatter on it.

Thanks again.

The jboss 3 quickstart guide is not part of the manual build process, as far as I know. I think it's all in ms word format. The manual build process is for the almost completely out of date free 2.x manual (possibly including some misguided and not-about-current-versions info about early jboss 3)(I wrote those jboss 3 parts so I get to call them names;-)

[rickhoro]

Hmm.. if that's the case, then I'm confused about how the Getting Started PDF file is generated. Here's the link from which I obtained that file:

http://telia.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/jboss/JBoss.3.0QuickStart.Draft3.pdf

I'd be happy to just use this, but there have clearly been updates to the MS Word files that appear to be the source of this PDF document. Given all the new stuff since JBoss 2.4, I'd like to use the latest version of Getting Started, but would like to have one nicely formatted document, rather than a bunch of MS Word files.

Thanks again... still looking for the ultimate truth ;)
