Dinesh and Markus recommended taking this off the dev list, but I think
there are some actionable items here that need wider discussion.
1. The off-swan Mac OS X build
Dinesh asserts that off-swan Mac OS X build, including bootstrap-all
works.
Ed is unable to substantiate that claim.
Jerome asserts there is some missing dependency jar that is causing the
problem.
Who is right?
2. idempotency of maven goals
Also, we appear to have discovered a breach in the idempotency of goals:
MF> The order for
MF>
MF> clobber checkout bootstrap-all clean
MF>
MF> doesn't matter as long these goals are before build.
MV> Actually it does matter and I learned it the hard way: clobber removes
MV> ant jars, so you can't do clean until bootstrap-all :(
This latter point should be clarified in the documentation.
