Hi,

I have downloaded the 5.4.0.Final tagged sources from https://github.com/droolsjbpm/jbpm/tags, extracted the folder and built using "mvn clean install -DskipTests".

Building on windows 7 using java jdk1.7.0_05 I get a successful build.

Building on ubuntu linux using the same jdk I get an error:

Does anyone know why this might occur and point me in the right direction to fixing it.

I have tried building from both zip and tar archives on linux with identical results.

Maven is 3.0.4 on both boxes.

This is of particular interest as we have a problem running flows on our linux as7 server because of jta transaction issues, specifically, an exception when trying to join a transaction. While the two problems may be totally unrelated, it is possible that they are in that both are jta and linux issues.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter
