Hi everybody, I started a week ago with the process of setting up DevCloud on my Macintosh by importing DevCloud.ova onto VirtualBox. First, I took the wrong step of building using ant and then I discovered that the build process had moved on to maven. As I went through this guide - https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/CloudStack+devcloud+environment+setup - in trying to setup the CloudStack development environment, I ran into a bunch of errors to which many of you have responded very kindly and promptly. The community seems very well-rooted and very helpful.
Some of the errors I faced were fairly trivial and my own mistakes - once there wasn't enough swap space and at one point I had the wrong version of maven installed. At other times, the errors I faced seemed to be stemming from the lack of sufficient documentation about a particular issue - jetty wasn't installing until I made changes to the pom.xml which I had to figure out on my own, I had to make modifications to db.properties.override in the utils directory before I could resolve the error with denial of access to the database for user 'root'@'localhost'. The link to stackoverflow on the wiki wasn't much help there. I was just wondering if other people have gone through similar issues, in which case, it might make sense to include them in the wiki? For starters, I think it should be specifically mentioned that one must use maven3 and not any previous versions. I was using maven2 and the last step in starting the mgmt. server did not execute. How should I go about getting the items reviewed so that they can be added to the wiki? Thanks, Abhijith
