Immediate Build Failure on master after cloning repo

[codelotus]

After cloning the repo I cd'ed into the owf directory and ran "ant". Immediately the build failed.

$ git clone https://github.com/ozoneplatform/owf
$ cd owf
$ ant -version
Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.4 compiled on September 18 2012
$ ant
Buildfile: /data/src/opensource/owf/build.xml
  [taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml. It could not be found.

_init-ivy:

Acknowledged, yes - we'll update the README.MD to reflect. We need to update the build scripts to pull from a Nexus repository, etc - just about to release OWF7, so not willing to make that change in our last week. Obviously priority item for after the release, however.

You have the honor of adding the first issue to our as yet under-the-radar outing...

Codelotus - can you see if the new build instructions up on the wiki get you there? Note the requirements for download for the ant-contrib - that was your starting point from above. But double-checking to see we've got you in stronger state here.

Things done:

• released OWF7 - making it then workable to mod the build afterwards....
• expose Nexus repo with artifacts, rather than use ivy on SVN from owfgoss.org
• add artifacts to Nexus, as needed
• clean up guidance in docs previously distributed individually for OWF6 and 7 to give one unified view

Running "ant bundle" still fails.
However I took the following action in an attempt to successfully complete the build:

1. copied ivy 2.2.0 jar into $ANT_HOME/lib

The build then failed with the following error:

     [exec]         ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
     [exec]         ::          UNRESOLVED DEPENDENCIES         ::

     [exec]         ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

External locations unsuccessfully searched, by ivy, for these dependencies include:

1. https://www.owfgoss.org/nexus/content/groups/public
2. http://repo1.maven.org/maven2
3. http://grails.org/plugins

I then removed the 3 grails plugins from [root]/application.properties, as outlined in section 3.2 Troubleshooting however, obviously, that did not resolve the com.oracle#ojdbc14 missing dependency issue.

Is it possible to upgrade to a version of the missing dependencies which may be found in a public repository?

Codelotus - I experienced your noted dependencies issue and was able to get my build to succeed by downgrading my version of Grails to that specified in the Build Instructions Wiki page. Additionally your use of the newer Groovy 2 may be a factor.

Required versions:
Grails 1.3.7
Groovy 1.8.8

You will notice that the build will still include a warning about ojdbc not being resolved but will succeed nonetheless.
