Procedure:
1) Install Egit into Eclipse, create a workspace (/home/steelcowboy/robogit)
2) Import master branch from Git, using default directory (/home/steelcowboy/git/robocode) and unchecking plugings
3) Run mvnassembly, producing errors such as:
[INFO] An error has occurred in JavaDocs report generation:
Exit code: 1 - /home/steelcowboy/git/robocode/robocode.api/src/main/java/robocode/_AdvancedRobot.java:36: error: bad use of '>'
* If {@code degrees} > 0 the robot's gun is set to turn left.
^
And it mentioning a few times things like
[INFO] skip non existing resourceDirectory /home/steelcowboy/git/robocode/robocode.api/src/test/resources [INFO][compiler:testCompile {execution: default-testCompile}] [INFO] No sources to compile
4) Try mvn clean install, produce errors such as:
[INFO] Scanning for projects... [ERROR] The build could not read 13 projects -> [Help 1] [ERROR] [ERROR] The project net.sf.robocode:robocode.core:${robocode.version} (/home/steelcowboy/git/robocode/robocode.core/pom.xml) has 1 error [ERROR] 'dependencies.dependency.version' for net.sf.robocode:robocode.api:jar must be a valid version but is '${robocode.version}'. @ net.sf.robocode:robocode.core:[unknown-version], /home/steelcowboy/git/robocode/robocode.core/pom.xml, line 16, column 13
5) In Eclipse, as per the wiki, do HEAD revisions, Clean all -- all successfully, even in console reports "build successful". Also, ensure M2_REPO set correctly.
7) Check error, even though I ran mvnassembly says a lot of maven errors:
Project 'robocode.core' is missing required library: /home/steelcowboy/.m2/repository/junit/junit/4.11/junit-4.11.jar
87 of those
Can anyone help me figure out what I did wrong to get all of these errors? It seems like mainly a maven problem but I don't know how to get fix all of these maven errors since mvnassembly does nothing new except try to compile again and spit out errors...
Thanks!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You must use a an old Java JDK 6 in order to build Robocode - and use the Oracle JDK 6, if you want to make sure that Robocode will be able to build everything correct with 'mvnassembly.sh'.
The JDK 6 is used to ensure that Robocode WILL run on systems using Java 6 or newer. If Robocode was compiled with Java 7 or 8, there would be no 100% guarantee that Robocode will actually run with Java 6. Hence, Robocode currently needs to be build with JDK 6.
Note that you might only need to set the JAVA_HOME to point at your JDK 6, and parhaps also add the $JDK_HOME/bin to your PATH. You could create a script, that sets these values for you or just write these into the mvnassembly.sh.
