[Building Sakai] Help Required

[Mark Norton]

Environment variables are set in different places.  The command you show 
"export MAVEN_OPTS ..." is intended to be put in a Linux resource file 
such as .bashrc.  On a windows machine, you can set this using Settings 
 > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment Variables.  After 
setting it, be sure to open a new CMD window or the settings won't be 
present.

As for Maven missing some files, it seems unlikely to me that you'd get 
a SUCCESS build if you were missing files.  It may be possible that what 
you are seeing is Maven cycling through it's list of repositories.  Some 
of the artifacts used by Sakai are present on more than one Maven 
repository.  If not present in one, it cycles to the next until it is 
found.  If it doesn't find it, I believe it halts with an error.

Sakai code generally falls into three clumps:  the kernel (which now a 
pre-compiled JAR), tool (ect) sources, and JAR dependencies (libraries 
like Apache Commons).  Most of the dependent JARs end up in 
CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib.  Compiled tools (etc) end up in 
CATALINA_HOME/webapps as WAR files.  There is also a special directory 
called CATALINA_HOME/components that contain compiled Sakai components, 
again, mostly JARs.  There are some exceptions, like the database 
connector, which typically lives in CATALINA_HOME/common/lib.

The installation instructions provided for a release generally, work.  
HOWEVER, they have to be followed VERY carefully.  There is also a good 
set of installation instructions in the Programmer's Cafe workspace in 
Confluence.

Typically, the order of commands is something like this:

"mvn install"  - compiles and builds everything, downloads dependencies 
into local repository.
"mvn sakai:deploy" - deploys built objects to your CATALINA_HOME location.

later you can use:

"mvn clean install sakai:deploy - cleans /some /things up before building.
