user.home/.activiti does not exist

[piseven]

Hi Guys,

i just started to work on activiti and now i got a really strange problem.

first i ran the demo setup and all the stuff. then i wanted to try out to build activiti by myself.
after some proxy issues with maven i finally got a successfull build (demo setup is also executable). I also created an own build of the Modeler.

remember: i'm actually trying out all the stuff…
so i just followed all the instructions from the building guides.
in these guides is mentionend, that a lot of properties for any build can be set up in the build.properties file at the [user.home]/.activiti folder

now i got following stupid problem:

I DONT HAVE ANY .activiti FOLDER

i even searched my whole disk for it.. without any success

anyone knows this issue?
i have to admit, that i*m on a working station in my company and got no admin rights or anything like this.
and for example eclipse oder maven have their folders (e.g. [user.home]/.eclipse)

any suggestions, why this folder is missing?

Hi,

Where did you read that the build.properties is in the .activiti folder?
You should look in the setup folder of your Activiti installation directory.

Hi

i knew that there are build.propertie files, but i thought, that there should be also some in the (non existing) .activiti folder

maybe the guide was to confusing for me but it definetly says:

Those scripts can be found in [activiti.home]/setup/build.xml (thats what you said) and can optionally use settings from [user.home]/.activiti/build.properties

As an example, here's the content of my [user.home]/.activiti/build.properties: …

so, is there an .activiti folder existing at all??

That is correct… it can use it IF it is there

As an example, here's the content of my [user.home]/.activiti/build.properties: …

That is something created by the author

so, is there an .activiti folder existing at all??

Not if you did not create one

thanks for your help, now i know that i did nothing wrong
