Cannot build 2.3 branch based on README

[codylerum]

Trying to build so I can create a test and debug an issue, but I'm getting errors trying to build the 2.3 branch based on the readme

I'm running into this issue as well as a similar issue with a disabled h:selectOneCheckbox as referenced in https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFLY-13571

The readme states JDK8, Ant and Maven which I have installed and then a mvn clean install in the root of the project.

Is there a step missing?

I'm able to build master without issues. For 2.3 I'm using the instructions in the readme in that branch.

That's an error in the source. For the 2.3 branch it should be 2.3.15-SNAPSHOT. I remember we fixed this a couple of times before, but unfortunately it keeps coming back :(

You can just manually update it, and then the build should succeed.

This does get the build to pass.
