Can't build chronos on Fedora 20 - StringUtils missing

[gregsheremeta]

Can't build chronos on Fedora 20. http://pastebin.com/w1fuY3si

This happens for me on both 2.1.0 and master.

Mesos is already installed via RPM.

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal net.alchim31.maven:scala-maven-plugin:3.1.0:compile (scala-compile-first) on project chronos: Execution scala-compile-first of goal net.alchim31.maven:scala-maven-plugin:3.1.0:compile failed: A required class was missing while executing net.alchim31.maven:scala-maven-plugin:3.1.0:compile: org/apache/commons/lang/StringUtils

[ERROR] realm =    plugin>net.alchim31.maven:scala-maven-plugin:3.1.0

I tried adding commons-lang directly into the scala-maven-plugin pom. I also tried adding it as a plugin dependency in chronos's pom. No effect.

Perhaps something to do with apache-commons-lang being installed?

I was suffering the same problem with commons-lang; after much head-scratching it turns out you need to do

mvn dependency:purge-local-repository 

as commons-lang has somehow become corrupted. When you next compile or package, all the dependencies will be refreshed and should download correctly for you

Helped with Ubuntu build as well - thanks!

[gregsheremeta]

Doesn't help me on Fedora 20. I can even delete my entire ~/.m2/repository and that doesn't work.

Thanks, though.

Chronos devs? Help please?

@gregsheremeta This might be related to the issue we are seeing when building Chronos on Ubuntu 14.04. See my comment on #211 for a possible workaround...

[gregsheremeta]

@lingmann THANK YOU. That did it.

So, like Ubuntu, it is an issue with the default maven install provided with Fedora 20.
Downloading 3.0.5 and running that directly does the trick.

~/apache-maven-3.0.5/bin/mvn package

Cheers.
