Re: [Geotools-gt2-users] Building Geotools on OSX 10.4

[Tim R. <tro...@gb...>]

Perhaps an addition of <family>mac</family> to remove it would help although
- I read that if you introduce a linux family also, there are issues with
mac being picked up incorrectly. It may be worth adding just a comment for
mac users to the pom. 

I'm now on the JTS-Wrapper -> 

org.geotools.geometry.jts.spatialschema.geometry.complex.ComplexImpl is not
abstract and does not override abstract method getPrecision() in
org.opengis.spatialschema.geometry.Geometry

plus some others in there not implemented and some that are using the wrong
return types... 

I'm sure I must have the wrong branch checked out
(http://svn.geotools.org/geotools/trunk) as this is no longer errors in
dependencies but the code base itself.  I'll investigate later today what
I've done wrong, unless the build is indeed broken.

Yes.... it should have downloaded the jai files from lists.refractions.net.
Just tried on my pc, wiped out jai from my maven repo, and run that same
mvn command, and it did download the jai jars from lists.refractions.net
indeed, leading to a full and succesfull build.

I don't understand why it does not work on Mac OS... unfortunately I do 
believe only one developer is working on a Mac, and only part time 
(hello Jesse). The rest of us is split among Windows and Linux.

I can see that in the plugins pom there is the following code:

<profile>
       <id>windows</id>
       <activation>
         <os>
           <family>windows</family>
         </os>
       </activation>
       <modules>
         <module>epsg-access</module>
       </modules>
     </profile>
     <profile>
       <id>unix</id>
       <activation>
         <os>
           <family>unix</family>
         </os>
       </activation>
       <modules>
         <module>epsg-access</module>
       </modules>
     </profile>

Soo... my wild guess is that MacOSX falls in the unix family, but
linux jdk do havea jdbc-odbc bridge, or at least the 
sun.jdbc.odbc.ee.DataSource class, whilst OSX does not.

Guys, should we disable epsg-access from unix builds? It does not
make sense to use it there anyways...

No problem. Docs and feedback are appreciated :-)
