It's not even necessary to build BCEL in order to test against trunk, because you can get BCEL snapshots from the Apache Maven Snapshot repository. If the CI system is working, the SNAPSHOTs wll be updated regularly when there have been commits. If it appears that the snapshot has not been built for some while since the last commit (e.g. 24 hrs), ask here and someone can prod the CI system (or just deploy another snapshot). Of course such builds have no guarantees, and should not be relied on long-term (they may be replaced at any time), but for test purposes they will do. > Niall > > > >> --S. >> >> >> >> -- >> View this message in context: >> http://apache-commons.680414.n4.nabble.com/VOTE-Release-BCEL-6-0-based-on-RC3-tp4667129p4673474.html >> Sent from the Commons - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
