Problems while building activiti from source

[stanstarks]

I tried to build activiti from the source by following Activiti developers guide.
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/ACT/Developers+Guide
But when I run 'ant clean distro', it seems unable to find any packages.
After installing these jars manually,

aopalliance-1.0.jar
asm-commons-3.2.jar
cglib-2.2.jar
commons-codec-1.2.jar
doxia-modules-apt.1.1.2.jar
maven-common-artifacts-filters-1.3.jar
maven-surefire-common-2.7.1.jar
plexus-utils-2.0.5.jar
spring-jdbc-3.0.3.RELEASE.jar
spring-orm-3.0.3.RELEASE.jar
surefire-api-2.7.1.jar
surefire-booter-2.7.1.jar

There are errors when building activiti spring:

What should I do?

Hi,

I`ve tried it with the actual sources again - without having problems. Have you installed maven? What happens if you type "mvn" at your shell?

Best regards

Yes I do. The problem is I cannot find the resources anyway. I run mvn compile of some projects under the modules folder. But I got infos like:

Is it because I am in China?
