Hi All, I cloned avro source from git, and went through the getting started instructions here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AVRO/How+To+Contribute I'm hoping to work on this: https://helpwanted.apache.org/task.html?7016995edb84589a099db564394845047da3e1c8
The maven compile failed. Below are the details of the failure. Please suggest how to proceed to get it working. Thanks! I got this 'INFO' when running mvn compile inside lang/java folder: *skip non existing resourceDirectory C:\Users\Theodore\git\avro\lang\java\maven-plugin\src\main\resources* And ended with this failure: *[INFO] Building Apache Avro IPC 1.9.0-SNAPSHOT* *[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------* *[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------* *[INFO] Reactor Summary:* *[INFO]* *[INFO] Apache Avro Java ...................................
