Re: Building JAMES

Sadly I realized a while back that it does not build out of the box.  
Through much trial and error, I finally got the build to complete.  
However, even with that, for some reason I still get several errors.  
Apparently they aren't fatal errors.  I have learned that if there is 
really something wrong, the build won't complete.  However, if the maven 
build gets to the end, even if there were errors reported, the build 
works.  I would really like to understand this better.  If the 'errors' 
I get aren't really critical, seems they should be warnings.  I build 
and use James. But it doesn't give me a whole load of confidence that 
there were errors in the build, even though the build doesn't abort on them.

What kind of errors are you getting?  Does the build stop on those errors?
