Test failures in platform-core ? or ..... ?

Hi all, I'm pretty new to building xwiki from source and ran into a little problem. When I did 'mvn package' in xwiki-platform-core i get the following output, ===================================================================== [asiri@asiri-desktop xwiki-dev]$ cd xwiki-platform-core/ [asiri@asiri-desktop xwiki-platform-core]$ mvn package [INFO] Scanning for projects...

Also, i need to know how to get that stand-alone version (HSQLDB, Jetty and so on) of XWiki built out of XWiki sources. So far I couldn't figure it out. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot. - Asiri
