[Building Sakai] BBB contrib tool EmailMessage InstantiationError

[Matthew Jones]

You're for sure going to want to modify this parent pom to be the same
version of Sakai as you're currently using. This is one of the gotchas of
building with Sakai.

Most likely it's pulling down the purepoms from 2.8-SNAPSHOT (since 2.6.3
has the snapshot repo as one of the repositories in the master and
2.8-SNAPSHOT purepoms is in the repository) which has some slight
difference:

http://source.sakaiproject.org/maven2-snapshots/org/sakaiproject/purepoms/purepoms/

And instead of using the 2.6.3 which you probably want:
http://source.sakaiproject.org/maven2/org/sakaiproject/purepoms/purepoms/

And it gets the weird runtime "java.lang.InstantiationError" which shouldn't
happen.

You *should* just be able to change the version to
"<version>2.6.3</version>", rebuild it with clean install and deploy it
again.
