building edukapp

[Niels van Dijk (SURFnet)]

Hi,

I'm trying to build edukapp (rev 206) but this fails as wookie is a
dependency, but is not available. Snip from the error logs below. Am I
doing something wrong?

thanks!
Niels

Hi Niels,

Yes you are right, it seems that wookie 0.9.2 does not exist anymore in the apache repository

https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/wookie/wookie/0.9.2-incubating-SNAPSHOT/ 

which we could not observe since we have a cached version of it in our machines.

But 0.10.0 seems to be out there so I just updated the pom file with this dependency and project now builds as expected..

Best,

Lucas

Although it doesn't quite work as expected as there are a few changes in Wookie between 0.9.2 and 0.10.0 so you're better off chopping the "SNAPSHOT" off the end until we're ready to move to 0.10.0

Hi,

thanks for the feedback so far.

I've update my pom to use wookie 0.9.2-incubating, which seems to work.

I then ran into errors like:
"/srv/users/niels/dev/edukapp-read-only/src/main/java/uk/ac/edukapp/service/WidgetService.java:[35,12] generics are not supported in -source 1.3
(use -source 5 or higher to enable generics)
    public List<Widget> findWidgets(String query){

/srv/users/niels/dev/edukapp-read-only/src/main/java/uk/ac/edukapp/service/WidgetService.java:[40,3] annotations are not supported in -source 1.3
(use -source 5 or higher to enable annotations)
        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
"

These seem to have to do something with locking down the version in the pom (sorry - I'm not much into maven...). Adding something like:
"                        <plugin>
                                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                                <!-- best lock down version of the plugin too -->
                                <configuration>
                                        <source>1.6</source>
                                        <target>1.6</target>
                                </configuration>
                        </plugin>
"
Fixed that problem.

Thanks so far,
Niels

Fixed that problem.

Thanks Niels  - I guess otherwise Maven will default to whatever the system JDK is - which may be 1.4 or 1.5.
