Roo hates me ... building Roo from scratch issues ...

Yesterday I reported an issues with a "Cannot present nested annotations unless created by this class" that has brought development to a halt. I thought that I might be able to get more information about what might be the issue if I modified the error message in Roo.

All of what follows is being done on a Windows 7 64 -bit professional system with Java 1.7.04 sdk and Maven 3.0.3.

The first thing I needed was the ability to get the Roo source and get it to build without me messing with it. I created a new directory and checked out the latest from github ...

git clone git@github.com:SpringSource/spring-roo.git

created the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable and set it to "-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m"

downloaded gpg4win, created a key and sent it to a keyserver "gpg --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu --send-keys xxxxxx"

and thought I would see if that much worked before I tried to put it into eclipse with just a

mvn clean install

I responded to the passphase challenge when asked so I am assuming the gpg had gone well, but things went down hill from there. I must to have really upset the Roo god as I could not even build it from scratch.

Note also that my initial reaction was that I could not copy and paste commands from the Roo readme.txt file without error so I deleted everything from the directory I had created and then entered the git clone command again, answered the passphrase again and did the mvn clean install again ... only to get the same results.

Here is all of the output from the build zipped up if you are interested ... Attachment 5016 ... and I have included the disappointing last lines below.

Obviously I am doing something wrong but have not go a clue what it might be.

Any suggestions would be appreciated,
Arvid

Quick suggestions:
- In Windows, I provide the gpg passphrase as maven option from the command line:

Quote:

---

mvn clean install -Dgpg.passphrase=THEPHRASE -Dgpg.secretKeyring=C:\Users\...\gnupg\secring.gpg -Dgpg.publicKeyring=C:\Users\...\gnupg\pubring.gpg

---

- You can even skip the code signing by removing the maven-gog-plugin from the pom.xml itself.

- If you're in hurry, just ignore the tests:

Quote:

---

mvn install -DskipTests
