Activiti Designer - build failures

[kuldeept]

Hi Experts,
           Trying to build activiti designer(5.18.1) from source(https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti-Designer), but hitting this issue:

The page on http://download.eclipse.org/graphiti/updates/0.11.4 says that the update site has been moved to archive, so I tried setting the update site for graphiti to http://archive.eclipse.org/graphiti/updates/0.11.4, but getting a NPE during the build later on:

Is there any document/wiki detailing the steps to build the activiti designer from source?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Folks,
              Sorry if I sound impatient. Could you experts please help here?

Hi,

I just cloned the activiti-designer repo and tried to do a build. I'm seeing the same error as Kuldeept.

Are others able to build?

Thanks,
Dan

It finally worked..
I downloaded the graphiti zip from http://archive.eclipse.org/graphiti/archives/0.11.4/org.eclipse.graphiti.site_0.11.4.201507011432.zi...
and after unzipping it,  I replaced <graphiti-site>http://download.eclipse.org/graphiti/updates/0.11.4</graphiti-site>
in org.activiti.designer.parent pom.xml to
   <code><graphiti-site>file://<Unzip_Location></graphiti-site> </code>

Hope this helps someone.
