Hi. I tried to compile the sso-agent portal-component (i.e the folder jboss-epp-5.1-src\portal-components\sso\agent in the source code) in EPP5.1.0. This module, amongst other dependencies, depends on the artifact with artifactId "exo.portal.component.web". The original pom.xml in its parent directory (jboss-epp-5.1-src\portal-components\sso) has the following:

so I changed it to

<org.exoplatform.portal.version>5.1.0-epp-GA</org.exoplatform.portal.version>

However, in version 5.1.0, the artifact in question (i.e. "exo.portal.component.web") compiles to a .pom file instead of to a jar file (as opposed to the 5.0.1 version). The content in the .pom file is as follows:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

  <parent>

    <groupId>org.exoplatform.portal</groupId>

    <artifactId>exo.portal.component</artifactId>

    <version>5.1.0-epp-GA</version>

  </parent>

  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

  <artifactId>exo.portal.component.web</artifactId>

<packaging>pom</packaging>

  <name>GateIn Portal Component Web</name>

  <modules>

     <module>controller</module>

     <module>security</module>

     <module>server</module>

     <module>resources</module>

     <module>api</module>

  </modules>

</project>

(Note: the modules "controller", "security", "server", "resources", "api" all compiled successfully and stored in the respective target folders).

So, in the jboss-epp-5.1-src\portal-components\sso\agent\pom.xml file, I changed the dependency from:

<dependency>

            <groupId>org.exoplatform.portal</groupId>

            <artifactId>exo.portal.component.web</artifactId>

        </dependency>

to the following:

<dependency>

            <groupId>org.exoplatform.portal</groupId>

            <artifactId>exo.portal.component.web</artifactId>

<type>pom</type>

<version>5.1.0-epp-GA</version>

        </dependency>

The problem is that when I do "mvn install" in the jboss-epp-5.1-src\portal-components\sso\agent folder, it cannot find packages that are now hidden inside the modules (for example, the "security" module that is defined in the .pom file).

My question is: How do I fix this problem and tell maven to find the packages in the modules as defined in the .pom file?

Any help is appreciated.
