Thanks for the help. I am still running Java 7, but after making the changes you suggested, I am now getting different compile errors:
The errors are in FixLinkAnnotationsFilterTest.java, and pertain to the following imports: import static org.waveprotocol.wave.migration.helpers.FixLinkAnnotationsFilter.AUTO; import static org.waveprotocol.wave.migration.helpers.FixLinkAnnotationsFilter.NEW; import static org.waveprotocol.wave.migration.helpers.FixLinkAnnotationsFilter.OLD_MANUAL; import static org.waveprotocol.wave.migration.helpers.FixLinkAnnotationsFilter.OLD_WAVE; The errors claim it cannot find the symbol FixLinkAnnotationsFilter. I am not sure what the import static syntax does, but it looks like it is trying to set a constant? Given the effort to just set up, I am likely to wait until Apache Wave is a bit further along the Incubator path before using it for a client. I'm still very interested in the project though.

There are a couple of issues with Java 7 support at the moment. The easiest way to resolve these is probably to switch to Java 6. If that's not an option, a quick hack for Java 7: 1) Comment out the -Werror argument around line 68 of build-macros.xml 2) change the five fields in org.waveprotocol.wave.client.paging.AbstractTreeNode to be protected (rather than private) IIRC, that was sufficient to get it to build for me.
