In order to build the mapifier project you have to download and install Maven2. When you have done that you should be able to run the regular build cycles in maven.
Some of the subprojects use JAXB to generate data containers. When JaxMe supports mixed types and allows for the generation of model groups with more than one occurence we might swith from SUNs reference implementation. However as of this writing we have dependencies on the Web Service Development Pack 1.6 which must be downloaded from SUN.
The simpleFlow project uses the JAXB reference implementation from SUN. Since these jars cannot be redistributed using maven repositories you have to download the Java Web Service Development Pack and install these jars yourself.
There is a build.xml file located in the root of the SimpleFlow project that will help you with this. You have to run the ANT task before maven runs since there is a catch 22 with the dependencies and installing them with the ant script...
The location of the Web Service Development Pack is configured in the project.properties file:
... sun.jwsdp=c:\\Sun\\jwsdp-1.6 ...
The ANT task will install the jars from SUN into the local repository making them available from the maven dependency configuration.
If you are not using the default location of the maven repository you will have to alter the ant script or install the jars manually.
