linux building noob

[mahler]

I'm attempting to build forge on linux using commandline tools, and everything seems to go well enough except for when I try to launch the newly built .jar, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

bash ./forge.sh
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -javaagent:/usr/share/java/jayatanaag.jar
FSkin > can't find skins directory!
main > java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

        at forge.view.Main.main(Main.java:48)

        ... 2 more

Exception: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "main"

Now, the strange thing is that if I make a link to the 'res' directory from an official release of forge, I don't get that error, and everything works as far as I can tell.

I've built using the commandline maven, you know, like this:

mvn validate
mvn compile
mvn test
mvn package
mvn integration-test
mvn verify
mvn install

everything looks like it went fine, so I must be missing a step.

Please let me know what I'm missing.
