Vincent, How did you guess that? <g> Yes, 64-bit Windows 7. I have a Ubuntu virtual machine as well (I'm using a 16GB workstation, so anything is feasible). I never finished configuring my Linux VM under VirtualBox, but I _have_ been giving some serious thought to using it for all XWiki development. Reading between the lines, do you feel I'd be happier under Linux? Frankly, I've _never_ liked Windows in any form (in fact, I was sort of an evangelist for OS/2 back in the day), but there are a few useful Windows tools I use that may or not be happy under Wine, so I've been taking the path of least resistance (you know, buying a new portable workstation that always comes with Windows and Microsoft Office pre-installed :-). It wouldn't take much to convince me to live in the Linux world. Since you asked about Windows, and there is a message about a path element, I'm guessing this whole mess has something to do with the presence of blanks in Windows pathed directory names like "Program Files." I don't have a world clock, but isn't it awfully late in Paris? Thanks for your continued responses! --Gary -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vincent Massol Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2012 5:34 PM To: XWiki Developers Subject: Re: [xwiki-devs] Errors Building xwiki-commons Hi Gary, Are you building on Windows by any chance? -Vincent On Jul 24, 2012, at 11:37 PM, Gary Kopp wrote:
I am unable to build xwiki-commons from the command line. First, I had to skip tests, and then, after I tweaked my setup to get back to Java 6 (I typically use Java 7), Maven debug output includes the text pasted below. The empty "bad path element" of "" has me baffled, but I'm ignoring that for the moment. Meanwhile, can anyone explain the problem with AetherExtensionRepository?
