Error building jboss-head.

[sunithakambhampati]

Hi All,

I am new to jboss. By mistake I posted this post elsewhere and was asked to post it to this forum.

I want to run some tests,so I checked out the source and did the following steps to build.

cvs co jboss-head
cd jboss-head/build
./build.sh

I am using Sun 1.4.2 sdk.
java -version is
java version "1.4.2_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_04-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_04-b05, mixed mode)

The build fails with the following message.
_default:compile-rmi:
[rmic] RMI Compiling 1 class to C:\workghm\Projects\jboss\jboss-head\remoti
ng\output\classes

BUILD FAILED
C:\workghm\Projects\jboss\jboss-head\tools\etc\buildmagic\buildmagic.ent:641: Error starting SUN rmic:


I tried to check the WIKI, and FAQ but didnt find information about this error. It is possible that I may have missed to look someplace else ?

I'd appreciate any help/pointers in this regard.

Thanks much,
Sunitha.

Since you are new to JBoss, you would probably be better off downloading the pre-built package from http://www.jboss.org/products/jbossas/downloads. This way you can run without compiling.

It will depend on how rmic is being executed by ant. You will have to run ant in verbose mode to get a better description of what the problem is.

I think you would be better off by starting with the binary download than source download. I started learning JBoss this way... You may not want to get disappointed even before you start..:)
