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,

Then one of my friends did the following and got it working,,

'mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=true'

But I believe i'm doing something wrong to cause those tests to fail, so please help me out.

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.
