Running Maven build: required artifact is missing

[mlowery]

I finally got around to running the Maven build. I ran install_rescued_jars.sh and then mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip. And I get the following:

Missing:
----------
1) org.pentaho:pentaho-solutions:jar:1.6-SNAPSHOT

  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

  Then, install it using the command: 
      mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.pentaho -DartifactId=pentaho-solutions \
          -Dversion=1.6-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

  Path to dependency: 
        1) org.pentaho.deployables.jboss:jboss-portal-hsqldb-war:war:1.6-SNAPSHOT
        2) org.pentaho:pentaho-solutions:jar:1.6-SNAPSHOT

----------
1 required artifact is missing.

for artifact: 
  org.pentaho.deployables.jboss:jboss-portal-hsqldb-war:war:1.6-SNAPSHOT

Taking a quick peak, it looks like the pentaho-solutions tree needs some cleanup.

1) pentaho-solutions/branches/maven is a little dirty, in that there is a second 'maven' sublayer that actually has the pom.xml file (/pentaho-solutions/branches/maven/maven/).

2) there is no distribution configuration in the pom.xml, so you have to do a 'mvn install' to create the pentaho-solutions-1.6-SNAPSHOT.jar in the desktop (local) repo so the other projects can use it.

This can be verified by looking at your /home or /document and settings /<user>/.m2/repository/org/pentaho/pentaho-solutions/ directory tree.

Just as an FYI, this is the same problem the normal ant process runs into, in that you need to grab the pentaho-solution from SCM before you can work on the regular items. Once there is distrubtionManagement and a Pentaho Repository to store the end results, it will make things a lot easier.


key phrase: Lack of Pentaho Repository (both a regular and a snapshot) for pentaho jars.
