Hi all, It's my first time trying to develop my own component per this page: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents I ran the maven create component steps as follows: C:\dev\xwiki\xwiki-enterprise-2.5-rc-1> mvn install:install-file -Dfile="C:/Downloads/xwiki-archetype-component-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar" -DartifactId=xwiki-archetype-component -DgroupId=com.xpn.xwiki.platform.tools -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar . . . C:\dev\xwiki\xwiki-enterprise-2.5-rc-1>mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.xpn.xwiki.platform.tools -DarchetypeArtifactId=xwiki-archetype-component -DarchetypeVersion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -DgroupId=com.modusoperandi.xwiki.extentions -DartifactId=xwiki-marktest -Dpackage=com.modusoperandi.xwiki.ext -Dversion=0.1 -Dpackaging=jar . . . Now I have an xwiki-marktest project. Had to comment out the "1.8-SNAPSHOT" property value, making my pom.xml look like this: C:\dev\xwiki\xwiki-enterprise-2.5-rc-1\xwiki-marktest> type pom.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- * * See the NOTICE file distributed with this work for additional . . . * --><project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0. 0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <parent> <artifactId>xwiki-enterprise-parent</artifactId> <groupId>com.xpn.xwiki.products</groupId> <version>2.5-rc-1</version> </parent> <groupId>com.modusoperandi.xwiki.extentions</groupId> <artifactId>xwiki-marktest</artifactId> <version>0.1</version> <properties> <!-- TODO: remove this if you inherit a project that has the core version set <platform.core.version>1.8-SNAPSHOT</platform.core.version> --> </properties> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId> <artifactId>xwiki-core-component</artifactId> <version>${platform.core.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <version>3.8.1</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <!-- Add here all your other dependencies --> </dependencies> </project> But when I try to compile I get the "Failure to find..." error shown below.
