Reason and Scope

This is an issue where the JAR file created as the result of the "Shared" project is missing files. Two classes are crashing during their static initializations due to this. It does not effect running the project through a local test environment (like you might in Eclipse); it just happens when packaging the project into a JAR or WAR because the build script is missing the directives to copy two specific files.

In-Place Solution

To fix a build suffering from this, you need to copy two files into the bimserver-version-date-shared.jar (zipped archive file; can use the 7-zip application; located in lib directory) that gets unpacked by running the main jar (bimserver-version-date.jar): (1) Shared/generated/org/bimserver/models/geometry/impl/geometry.ecore and (2) Shared/generated/org/bimserver/models/ifc4/impl/ifc4.ecore

Those files respectively belong in: (1) org/bimserver/models/geometry/impl and (2) org/bimserver/models/ifc4/impl

In-Source Solution

To fix the build script (common.build.xml), I believe the following two lines can be added (around line 455) to fix this issue in the Builds project.

<copy file="../../Shared/generated/org/bimserver/models/geometry/impl/geometry.ecore" todir="builds/shared/org/bimserver/models/geometry/impl" />
<copy file="../../Shared/generated/org/bimserver/models/ifc4/impl/ifc4.ecore" todir="builds/shared/org/bimserver/models/ifc4/impl" />

Thank you lirmont.

Now waiting for the final release of 1.4.

Dear lirmont,

I followed your way "in-source solution" and built out the jar and ran it... I got an error from BIMserver Starter:

Hi, rubendel
Would you update the minorversion in build.xml this time? it is a little bit confusing.
property name="minorversion" value="3"
Eric

[rubendel]

No I'll update when I make a new release.
