Building DayTrader with Maven 3

Question

Has anyone attempted to build the Apache Geronimo DayTrader application with the latest Maven build? When I try to follow the instructions here:

https://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC22/daytrader-a-more-complex-application.html

I am getting numerous build errors:

I am following the instructions exactly as they have them. Am I missing something?

Answer 1

The error is because the <version> information for taglibs-standard-jstlel project is missing. This will break not just in maven3, but in any other maven version as well. This is likely a bug.
