Failing to build samples

[notfed]

Hi,

I'm using Oracle Linux 6, and can't build the spring-batch samples. I have a pretty clean environment on this system, not much installed other than the Java JDK (version 1.6.0_26) and Maven (version 2.2.1).

Here's what I did:

$ git clone git://github.com/SpringSource/spring-batch.git
$ cd spring-batch/spring-batch-samples
$ mvn test -P bootstrap

I get the following output after mvn test -P bootstrap:

Any ideas on what's going on here?

P.S. I can't get mvn install to work either (it fails with a "Failed to resolve artifact" for foundrylogic.vpp:vpp:jar:2.2.1). Can't get anything to build, period. Starting to become an annoyance.

I should add that I finally got this to work using spring-batch-2.1.8-RELEASE (I had been using the wrong [3.0.3] version of Maven). But not with the latest github repo (the last commit that works is 86a044bc6c9c5f674ac7, the 2.1.8-RELEASE commit).

You don't have the snapshots installed locally and there is no repository declaration for them in the samples. If you "cd spring-batch; mvn install -P bootstrap" you should have those jars locally. If you want to update the README or samples guide please feel free to send a pull request.
