[Springframework-developer] Re: Is it possible to publish nightly builds?

[Vinay A. <vin...@ya...>]

You guys convinced me to give it one more try. I downloaded the whole 
project and tried to compile it. The build did infact fail. Anyway, 
thanks for your help and encouragement, but I am not going to spend any 
more time on it.

Regards
Vinay

P.S.: In case you are interested, the error is enclosed.
