AW: [axis2] trunk not building on Ubuntu

Yea, axis2 trunk sources build fine but only with oracle-6-java installed which is not the standard for Ubuntu.

And the installation of oracle-6-java was a nightmare on Ubuntu. This as opposed to oracle-7-java. 

I have seldom read so much crap in the web about how to install oracle-6-java than with and for Ubuntu.

Oracle allows to download an jdk-6u43-linux-i586-rpm.bin <javascript:%20void(0)>  and jdk-6u43-linux-i586.bin <javascript:%20void(0)>  for Linux x86.

it unpacks into a .rpm, and then what?

 

 

$ cd /usr/lib/jvm

$ alien -i jdk-6u43-linux-i586.rpm

 

alien unpacks and creates a directory 

and in the end it kills it so where did 

alien install the jdk?

 

then a bit later on, after reading tons of 

web-crap, I found out myself that the jdk-6u43

was installed at /usr/lib/java

 

while all other java kits are at /usr/lib/jvm

 

As I had multiple runs of alien to find out what goes wrong, I can not say when the kit got actually installed.

 

So I just declared and exported JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/java/jdk-6u43 and all was OK for java -version, 

mvn -version and ant -version and buiding axis2 from trunk was just a sniff, error free on its first attempt 

including surefire testing on Ubuntu 12.04

OS- Ubuntu 12.04, Maven 3.0.4 

 

Thanks,

At my site it is a nightmare!

I have built OpenJDK 8 on that Ubuntu system!

Then I used that built OpenJDK 8 for NetBeans 7.3

BUT I was unable to build axis2 latest trunk sources!

So I changed away from OpenJDK and installed a Java-7-Oracle jdk on my Ubuntu 10.04

I took a terminal window, left of NetBeans 7.3, and re-tried to build axis2 trunk again.

absolute no luck, it's a nightmare. 

it fails with surefire tests, 

so I started to <exclude> each one which did not run and made progress; 

but now at integration testing, there are just too many sure fire tests not running. 

So I gave up and ask here.

Hence I just like to know if on a Ubuntu 10.04 with jdk java-7-oracle, maven-3.0.5, ant-1.8.4 should build and test error free?

Did someone try this build?

What up building axis2 on Ubuntu - or is Ubuntu for the foxes, can I give up this attempt?
