I recently downloaded the source from CVS onto my Win2K system. I then tried to
build GeoServer using ant. However, I got a number of compiler errors. It seems
that ant had problems with some of the jar files downloaded from cvs. Some of
the jar files have been entered into cvs as binary files and others as ascii
files. The jars that were entered as ascii files seem to be giving me trouble.
Can this be fixed in CVS? Can anyone send me the correct binary version of the
jars needed to build GeoServer? I tried downloading the latest versions from the
respective projects but I believe that there are some version differences.
Thanks,

Geotools is actually moving away from ant, using the maven build system
instead. A few developers are still on ant, so they try to keep it up to
date, but maven is the current build system, and is better supported.
Check out the developer's guide, located at
http://www.geotools.org/gtdocs/developersguide.html Section 2.6.1 tells
how to build with maven and where to get it and whatnot. Maven is much
more automated, and it downloads the jars it needs from a different
repository. This may or may not fix your problem, but the jars that maven
gets will be different from the ones that you get with ant, as maven
stores the jars it needs in its own local repository, instead of relying
on extbin. Let us know if you still have issues after trying maven, and
which jars you are having trouble with.
good luck,
Chris

Oh sorry, scratch that completely. Geotools-devel and Geoserver-devel
look similar, and I didn't realize this was to the later until after I
sent the email. Geoserver is still completely on ant. Let me know which
jars you're having trouble with and I'll send you the versions that I
have, as I'm actively developing geoserver. Be warned that Geoserver on
cvs is in a bit of a flux, as we've been reworking the structure to make
better use of geotools2, and not all the parts have been fully tested.
And the big problem with the jars right now is that we've been rolling our
own geotools2 jar, as the beta release has been coming more slowly than we
would like. But let me know which jars are giving you trouble and I'll
email them to you and work on fixing it in cvs.
thanks,
Chris
