Spring Webflow 2.3.0.RELEASE build problems

[smaines]

I'm starting a new project, and wanted to build the samples before I begin.

I've tried both spring-webflow-2.3.0.RELEASE-with-dependencies.zip and spring-webflow-2.3.0.RELEASE.zip. These only build if I disable bundlor, i.e.

$ cd build-spring-webflow
$ ant -Ddisable.bundlor=true

... though once built like this, they pass all tests.

[why disable.bundlor? this would entail discussion of
* getting NoSuchMethodException on org.objectweb.asm.ClassReader.accept(org.objectweb .asm.ClassVisitor, int)
* scanning all the asm jars, including my own JRE, establishing that 1.5.3 lacked the method, but 3.0+ had it
* eliminating 1.5.3 jars just in case that was causing the NoSuchMethod exception
* still getting NoSuchMethodException, suggesting that none were on the classpath
* availing myself of disable.bundlor flag found in offending artifact.xml
* wondering aloud what is a bundlor, anyway?
]

So I move on to spring-webflow-samples, and follow the instruction to package with mvn:

$ cd ../spring-webflow-samples/
$ mvn -U package

...this fails on trying to pull joda-time-jsptags-1.0.2.pom, so I try just going to the sample I want

$ cd booking-faces
$ mvn -U package

...which fails to pull org.primefaces:primefaces:jar:2.2.1.

As to my environment, I am running recent versions of everything...

$ ant -version

$ java -version

Not sure whether I have tried hard enough to make this build work, but it seems to me it shouldn't be this nearly this hard to begin with. I also see that this has been out for a while, and Google doesn't return a mass outcry of similar build pain from others, so I can't help but think it is something I am missing.

Please Advise, and Thanks in Advance,
