Building Branch 3.x and javax.activation:activation:1.0.2 dependency

[bwallis42]

I have followed the instructions to get the source from git, set the branch to 3.x and then try a build. I get an error on a dependency in modeshape-jbossas-subsystem, the dependency is java.activation:activation:1.0.2.  It seems to be a problem in the maven central repository that is referencing the activation jar download using a java.sun.com url that no longer works (thanks oracle!)

But I could be wrong about that, I always get lost trying to chase up dependencies.

I'm building on a mac:

% mvn -version

Apache Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-03-01 04:31:09+1100)

Maven home: /usr/share/maven

Java version: 1.6.0_29, vendor: Apple Inc.

Java home: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home

Default locale: en_AU, platform encoding: MacRoman

OS name: "mac os x", version: "10.6.8", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"

I got it to work by finding a copy of the pom and jar and puting them into my .m2/repository directory in the appropriate place (javax/activation/activation/1.0.2)

This is the error I got:

Thanks, Brian. We're looking into it. I don't recall ever having to do your workaround, so something is amuck.

Hey Brian,

Sorry to take so long to respond to your post. 3.x is now master and I am able to build without issues. Did you use the settting.xml from ModeShape (-s settings.xml)?

Thanks,

Ted

I've updated to the latest from the repository, removed javax.activation:activation:1.0.2 from my local repository cache and built master and still get the same error

so it doesn't seem to be able correctly resolve that dependency. I am running the following command line to build it from the root directory of the repository.

{noformat}
 mvn clean install -s  settings.xml
{noformat}

I also tried

{noformat}
mvn -U -l build.out clean install -s  settings.xml
{noformat}

and got the same error. The last few lines of the build of the modeshape-jbossas-subsystem from the log file are for the downloading of various dependencies, the last one that is tried is the activation one and there is never a "downloaded" message which generally indicates that it failed to find it (mvn never seems to explicitly say this).

Brian,

I deleted my  activation jars from my local repo (I had 1.1.1) and reran the build without issues. Interesting to note that my subsystem build log makes no reference to the annotation jar. I am using Maven 3.0.3, what version are you on?

Thanks,

Ted

mvn -version

Apache Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-03-01 04:31:09+1100)

The activation dependency is pulled in via the jboss 7.1.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT dependency.

Perhaps since the dependency is a SNAPSHOT one, we are seeing different versions of the 7.1.0-Alpha1?

I tried updating the required jboss version in modeshape-jbossas-subsystem to 7.1.0.Final (which I suspect it should be) but that fails to build due to a class not found error. It does get rid of the activation dependency though.

Brian,

The snapshot may be the issue. I hope to upgrade to JBoss AS 7.1 Final for Alpha2 (which will be out very soon). I logged https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODE-1412 for this task.

Thanks,

Ted
