Seam 1.1.0 build failed

[wschwendt]

When trying to build jboss-seam-1.1.0.CR1 (but also jboss-seam-1.1.0.BETA1 or BETA2), I get the following error:


$ ant

Buildfile: build.xml

init:
[echo] Build JBoss Seam 1.1

I do not know to what extent this is a bug or feature. Building jboss-seam-1.0.1.GA works without any problems.

Ack, I missed adding one of the src folders to the dist. I'll fix and upload a new build.

Thanks for the reply, Gavin.




For the time being, a simple workaoround is to remove "jargen" from target "build" in file build.xml.

<!--original target
<target name="build" depends="jar,jarui,jardebug,jargen" -->

<!-- changed target -->


Then it is possible to build jboss-seam.jar, jboss-seam-debug.jar and jboss-seam-ui.jar without any build failure.




But since I'm new to JBoss seam, I was wondering whether the build.xml file for seam1.1 is really intended as it was released. This is why I asked here. Clearly, for new users it can be confusing when they download the distribution and encounter a build failure.


PS: Sorry for my bad English

Well, usually you don't need to compile Seam once you have the dist, since it is already compiled ;-)
