Building Apache Roller on Windows 7

I am getting this kind of error when i tried to build apache roller on my windows 7 service pack 1 64 bit. 

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-antrun-plugin:1.7:run (gen-db-scripts) on project roller-webapp: An Ant BuildException has occured: Exception thrown by 'generator.parse'. For more information consult the velocity log, or invoke ant with the -debug flag.

i suspect this outputDirectory="F:\roller-trunk\app/target/dbscripts" templatePath="F:\roller-trunk\app/src/main/resources/sql"` is the problem but i have no idea how to fix it. I ran the "mvn clean install" from my command prompt.

Solution

  • I succeeded building Roller source code in current SVN trunk (5.2.0-SNAPSHOT) on Windows 7 box without errors. output of mvn -version is following:

    Apache Maven 3.3.3 (7994120775791599e205a5524ec3e0dfe41d4a06; 2015-04-22T20:57:37+09:00)
Maven home: c:\apache-maven-3.3.3
Java version: 1.8.0_45, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\jre
Default locale: ja_JP, platform encoding: MS932
OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "x86", family: "dos"

    Could you try building with same version of JDK/Maven to the above output?

    UPDATE

    Now GitHub distribution of Roller can be built without this error. For detail check https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-2086
