[master] mvn -T4 clean install -DskipTests fails

After a fresh clone of Neo4j repository, I tried to build Neo from the root module and I got:

Are you guys using an undocumented settings.xml configuration or is there maybe a missing repository configuration on the kernel module POM?

I don't do anything special to make it work. It looks like jotm-core has an unversioned dependency on carol, which in turn has an unversioned dependency on jacorb, which for some reason resolves to the jonas-patch version.

My installation finds it in this repository: http://m2.neo4j.org/content/repositories/ow2-leagcy/ -- but I don't know why it wants that version in the first place.

Does it work if you add org.jacorb:jacorb:2.3.1 and org.jacorb:jacorb-idl:2.3.1 to dependency-management?

Hmmm, nope, the build is still failing on kernel module. However, the error slightly changed:
I also forgot (although it should not really matter here), I run mvn -T4.

Without having anything in settings.xml and removing jacorb files from the maven cache, they're resolved to http://maven.ow2.org/maven2/org/jacorb/jacorb-idl/2.2.3-jonas-patch-20071018/jacorb-idl-2.2.3-jonas-patch-20071018.jar for me.
I've seen maven fail in all sorts of ways, including having corrupted files in the cache without noticing, producing the strangest errors. If you've tried everything else and got the bandwith you could try wiping/moving ~/.m2/repository.

[fbiville]

Hmmm, I just deleted my whole repository but that's not getting any better, unfortunately.

And running the build as per your command completes successfully (skipping the browser module)
It seems that, in your setup, the dependency org.ow2.carol:carol pulls in org.jacorb:jacorb in version 2.3.1 rather than 2.2.3-jonas-patch-xxx ...
I'm running maven 3.0.4. There are some incompatibilities in >=3.1 I've heard. Maybe try running with 3.0.x, otherwise I'm out of ideas.

[jotomo]

Forget that part about 2.3.1 vs 2.2.3 version, I missed that that's the explicit version you selected based on Chris' suggestion.

The JOTM dependency has been removed from the kernel tests.
