SVN is ready - DO NOT USE GITORIOUS

[Chris H.]

When I try to execute the /forge/trunk/target/forge-1.1.2-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar, nothing happens.

Jeff, I got it working.

Try "Project" -> "Clean...". Make sure that your ForgeGit [trunk] folder is checked. Click OK and see if this helps.

When I try to execute the /forge/trunk/target/forge-1.1.2-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar, nothing happens. Is anyone else having this issue? The project builds successfully, etc, even though my beloved "Run as Java application" is gone.

I suspect that since the jar is looking for the properties file and a "res" directory, it will fail. Try moving the jar into the root directory and see if that works.

So how can I update the SVN? My Run file just says I'm at revision 10905, is there a new SVN build do it yourself thing up or is it still a ways off?

The original SVN is no longer in use. We moved to Git for a short while and then decided to move the project to a different SVN host.

It is unlikely that we will go back to the old script system that users can use to have an "up to date" copy of forge on their local machine. The old system was hard to maintain. We are considering a new system.

One option would be to visit the forge wiki at Forge:How_to_Get_Started_Developing_Forge. This will allow you to keep up to date but requires you to follow instructions to install and to configure several pieces of software. People do not necessarily need to apply to the dev group if they do not want to make contributions to the SVN.

A second option would involve nightly(?) builds. This would allow people who are not technically advanced to download an archive that is similar to the bi-weekly beta releases.

It is expected that people that choose one option or the other would try to help in some limited fashion. Report bugs found in the nightly builds? Learn how to use the new Mantis bug reporting system? I'm sure that there must be other areas where a person could make a contribution and yet not need to do any coding.

Hi Chris,

I followed the instructions on the wiki and have everything installed and setup.

I wanted to try making a zip of the windows full install using maven. I did maven build... and set the goal as "-U -B clean -P windows-linux install" and it started fine but error-ed out on the launch4j step complaining about the version numbers needs to be in x.x.x.x format max 20 characters? Is there an easy way to fix this or do I have something setup wrong?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

We will have to wait for Dave to answer this question. He is the resident Maven Expert.

The pom.xml file has gone through several revisions in the recent past. It may need a few more minor edits by Dave before it is ready for prime time.

BTY, were the instructions on the wiki understandable and helpful?

goonjamin, can you do an 'svn update' and try it again? I updated the pom.xml.

[goonjamin]

I am at work right now but will give this another try when I get home tonight and will report back either way (with a full error log if it isn't good news).

@Chris, Yes I found the directions complete and very easy to follow.

Ah, great.

In case you are not familar with Eclipse, there is a panel with several tabs located at the bottom of the Eclipse window. Select the tab labeled "Console" and then select all of the text located in the Console and do a copy.

Paste the contents into a text editor, save the file and then zip the file. Attach the arcive containing the Consloe text to a message. This will give Dave the info that he needs to see to be better able to fix the problem.

I updated to r9793 and am still getting the same launch4j error? I have attached a full copy of the error in the attached. Also in case it is important I am running windows 7 32bit.

Unfortunately, I am not able to replicate the error. I use Windows XP in a virtual machine. I ran it from the command line and from Eclipse without issue. I keep looking but I am not optimistic. As a workaround look in the pom.xml file and find the "${releasedVersion}.0" lines. You can put the version number in explicitly (such as 1.12.0.0) and it should work. For some reason the variable is not resolving.

I'll give the work around a try tonight and thanks for taking the time to get back to me.

Do I need to get added to a dev team to commit for this?
