Building from source and other repository questions

[danielbarcellos]

Hi guys,

As my first question I'd like to know if is there a way to use activiti built from source without having this particular built source artifacts been affeted when some activiti SNAPSHOT has being released. It's seem weird this question because i'm kind of newbie in maven usage so I'm facing some issues since I started to build activiti locally by using ant clean distro.
I mean, since 5.16 has been released it seems that I'm not able any more to use activiti explorer on a oracle database. That was weird because I was using on that type of database but I'm not sure but is that possible that my builting process being affetected by this release?

Thanks

Hi Daniel.

Yes. Just download sources build distribution and deploy artifacts to local/remote repository. Your project can use these dependencies. In the case when you  want to create your own release rename 5.16-SNAPSHOT to 5.16-DANIEL and build/deploy artifacts to the repository

I'm not able any more to use activiti explorer on a oracle database.

Strange.

It should run on Oracle, nothing has changed. No stacktrace/exception?

I noticed that I was deploying activiti on a database that already had been created by a former version. Then a drop all tables and everything was all right.
I will start to read more about maven architecture though.

Thanks
