Maven installation of guvnor can't find ResourceType variable

Question

I'm trying to install drools guvnor on an Ubuntu system with mvn clean install -DskipTests, and I'm receiving an error output like this:

Any thoughts why it can't find ResourceType ?

I'm using maven 3.0.4 and java 1.7, and I've cloned all the repositories from github.com/droolsjbpm

Answer 1

I'm having the same problem, and I'm seeing a possibly related commit on a file from their github repository:

-import org.kie.builder.ResourceType;
+import org.kie.io.ResourceType;

So they possibly changed their packages around a bit. Try changing that inside the files see if it fixes it, I will verify tonight when I can.
