Stanford Topic Modeling Toolbox: not being able to compile with maven

I tried to compile the TMT toolkit source using maven as per the README file by invoking th command

mvn compile

However, since there is no pom.xml file in the project root directory, maven was unable to compile the project.

I also tried to use an empty pom.xml. Here is the error which I got:

[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[ERROR] The build could not read 1 project -> [Help 1]

[ERROR]   The project  (/mnt/sdb2/software/stanford_tmt/pom.xml) has 1 error

My question is: Have any of you encountered a similar problem? If so, then how did you resolve it? Is there a way to generate a pom.xml file given the scala source files?

Solution

  • It's a Scala project so you will need something like the pom.xml file in the source distribution for v0.2.1.
