JBoss 4 does not use jboss-net, the file is not found because it does not exist. Have a look in the Wiki for ws4ee.

There will be a new version of the getting started guide for JBoss 4.0 with working examples soon. It should go out with 4.0 final at the lastest.

will this guide be free as the 3.x version? Because right now i cant see any 4.0 getting started guide on the public site.

today was my lucky day, I actually got sourceforge cvs to talk to my computer.

I found the JBoss-3.2 module to be empty.

I first found the jboss module.

Using the ant build.xml file from that, I found it wanted two more modules
tools and thirdparty

I then found it has a error in the build.xml, it refers to

ir="${project.thirdparty}/xdoclet-xdoclet/lib">

which should be

ir="${project.thirdparty}/xdoclet/xdoclet/lib">

Now it appears that the build file is only configured for sun computer, I am using Windows 2000 Prof.

I get the following

Buildfile: C:\jboss\buildjboss\jboss\build.xml
_buildmagic:init:
Trying to override old definition of task property
_buildmagic:init:buildlog:
configure:
Overriding previous definition of reference to xdoclet.task.classpath

BUILD FAILED: C:\jboss\buildjboss\jboss\build.xml:234: JavaCC home must be a valid directory.
Total time: 4 seconds


So time for a sanity check on this process. Am I on the right track? Why does the wiki and other start up stuff refer to JBoss-3.2

I am now able to get to cvs via

:pserver:[e-mail]:/cvsroot/jboss

Note, some documentation refered to

:pserver:[e-mail]:/cvsroot/ which got me nowhere.....


This has been a slow, confusing, and error prone process with lots of incorrect information provided. I still have not done a build of JBoss or the tutorial and can't hope to contribute to fixing any bugs until I can.
