I am trying to build hibernate from source, and get a maven dependency error. Can anyone point me to directions that will really work for building hibernate?

Here is the page from which I am following the directions

http://www.hibernate.org/sourcecode.html

I've cut and paste'd the maven repository and plugins settings into my .m2/settings.xml. Then while running mvn clean install a jar file can not be found from the nexus.

Missing:
----------
1) javassist:javassist:jar:3.12.0.GA

Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

Then, install it using the command:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=javassist -DartifactId=javassist -Dversion=3.12.0.GA -Dpack
aging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there:
mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=javassist -DartifactId=javassist -Dversion=3.12.0.GA -Dpackag
ing=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

Path to dependency:
1) org.hibernate:hibernate-core:jar:3.3.2.GA_CP02
2) javassist:javassist:jar:3.12.0.GA

----------
1 required artifact is missing.

for artifact:
org.hibernate:hibernate-core:jar:3.3.2.GA_CP02

from the specified remote repositories:
jboss-snapshot (http://snapshots.jboss.org/maven2),
central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2),
jboss (http://repository.jboss.com/maven2)

hello, JBoss's repositories where recently updated to use Nexus; you can now use the web interface to find artifacts; in particular for javassist:
https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/index.html#nexus-search;gav~javassist~javassist~3.12.0.GA~jar~

So the repositories changed url, I'll update the hibernate docs; thanks for spotting that.

Hi Sanne,
thanks for the reply. How can the maven build be fixed - should I add the new jboss nexus to repositories section of my maven settings.xml? If so, can you provide the url to use?

thanks!

yes you should update your settings.xml, please follow the instructions at http://community.jboss.org/wiki/MavenGettingStarted-Users
