This shouldn't be necessary. The process that Brian mentioned is
that we're trying to start using internal jars which Brian will keep
in sync. The issue you ran into here has been fixed with
r1904. Classes were being compiled that shouldn't be. Sorry.

This is a known issue with Ivy, which should go into the FAQ. There's
a trade-off between cleaning the cache on every build and never having
anything stale, versus manually cleaning it and risking not finding
certain jars after a breaking checkout. Unfortunately, we just made
one of those. In general the "clean" target after a checkout is a
good idea.

Can you tell me any more about this? What output are you getting? Are
you trying to run the tests for 3.0-M3? I assume this is why you then
tried to build from trunk.

Then there are the issues that you sent off list. Hopefully you don't
mind me addressing them here for everyone's benefits.

This means that JBOSS_HOME is not set, as outlined on the building
from source page at

  http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/wiki/OmeroContributing

The "fullbuild" target checks the environment more closely for a
release. Your best bet is just to use "build".

This is worrisome. I haven't run into build issues with Java6, so I'll
have to investigate. Thanks for pointing this out.

Otherwise, night folks.
