COMPILING.txt is slightly wrong

[kryton]

the instructions for building the thrift plugin didn't work for me.

all I needed to do was download the github version of the plugin, and do
$ mvn install

and changing the pom.xml to use 0.1.11-SNAPSHOT caused it to go past this.

also..thrift 0.5.0 isn't downloadable from thrift.apache.org, and the current version produces incompatible code :-(

Hi kryton,

How did the thrift plugin instructions break for you? In general I would prefer to not rely on SNAPSHOTs, because those can break arbitrarily in the future.

As for thrift itself: try http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/ -- not http://thrift.apache.org. They're similar looking, but I think the links work on the former and are broken on the latter.

Oh, interesting -- I just checked, thrift.apache.org has an even newer release available. I'll take a look at that over time. We should probably eventually move to 0.6.0. But in the meantime, 0.5.0 definitely works.

Hi Aaron.

1. I couldn't find the plugin so I needed to build it.
   and I couldn't get this to work.

58 mvn install:install-file -Dfile=target/maven-thrift-plugin-0.1.10.jar
59 -DpomFile=./pom.xml -Dpackaging=maven-plugin -Dversion=0.1.10

a simple mvn install did though.

It seems as though dtrott's maven-thrift-plugin master branch (the current 0.1.11-SNAPSHOT) doesn't actually work with Thrift 0.5.0. So we definitely shouldn't depend on this version :) (At least until FlumeBase migrates to thrift 0.6.)

So I force-pushed flumebase/maven-thrift-plugin's master branch to match the 0.1.10 release commit... and simplified COMPILING.txt.

If you checkout flumebase/maven-thrift-plugin, and run 'mvn clean package install' from there, can you then build without needing to depend on a snapshot release?

[kryton]

I'll try.
The plugin is quite simple to fix.
It's just switching -out to -o I think.
