Chris,

I followed the steps and found the problem is in test and gwt:compile. The 
following did the trick.
<extraJvmArgs>-Xmx1024M -XstartOnFirstThread 
-Dconnection.string="${db.connection.string}" 
-Ddb.driver=${db.driver}</extraJvmArgs>

So Step is build in my local now.
thanks
Yiguang

Hi Yiguang

A maven command looks like this:

mvn phase1 phase2 phase3  or mvn plugin:goal

During a build phase, maven invokes a number of plugins. For example, during 
the compile phase, the java compiler plugin is invoked, the gwt compiler is 
invoked, etc. So, when you're invoking mvn clean install, it is the same as mvn 
clean, followed by mvn install

The parent pom.xml defines a number of modules. (<modules> tag) When you invoke 
mvn clean or mvn install at the top level, all it does is cds into each module 
in turn, and invokes the same command. The child poms (at the top of the pom) 
contain the reference to the parent. In a way, the mvn -pl <modulename> clean 
install command you did earlier last week is the same as cd <modulename> & mvn 
clean install

clean basically gets rid of all the target folders under each module. When you 
invoke the build lifecycle (for e.g. install), it does all the phases up-to and 
including that. 
So mvn install can be broken down as follows

mvn validate
mvn compile
mvn test
mvn package
mvn integration-test
mvn verify
mvn install

but skips the last stage:
mvn deploy

If you're getting a warning about serialization, I reckon you're running out of 
memory during the GWT compiliation, which happens during the compile phase 
mentioned above.

To prove this, I think you could try the following. First prove you can 
successfully build step-dataloader:

1- cd into step-dataloader
2- mvn clean
3- mvn install

[if that works, you've got at least 1 of the 4 modules working!]

4- cd into step-web-app, and run
5- mvn clean
6- mvn compiler:compile (invoking the compile goal on the maven java compiler 
plugin)
7- mvn gwt:compile (invoking the compile goal on the gwt maven plugin)

The warning (if it's the one I'm thinking of) is fine and due to a library 
we're using which hasn't been upgraded to GWT 2.0.

I came across this:
http://code.google.com/p/gwt-maven/issues/detail?id=65

which suggests you should try increasing the memory allocated to the 
gwt:compile. so in your pom.xml, find the gwt compiler plugin (under 
<build><plugins>, find the plugin called gwt-maven-plugin and under the 
<extraJvmArguments> specify some good memory arguments, for e.g. 

-Xmx1024M -XstartOnFirstThread

so your tag would like something like:

<extraJvmArgs>-Xmx1024M -XstartOnFirstThread 
-Dconnection.string="${db.connection.string}" 
-Ddb.driver=${db.driver}</extraJvmArgs>

Hope that helps. It might be that, because I specified the extraJvmArgs 
attribute, I lost the default of -Xmx512M and thereby the defaults are the OS 
defaults. Also, apparently the startOnFirstThread is a Mac OS specific argument 
which apparently fixes JVM issues on Mac OS Leopard

Hope that helps!
Chris
