I want to build Eclipse JDT Core from source code via Git. Naïvely, I cloned git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/jdt/eclipse.jdt.core.git and tried to run mvn validate (the most basic of Maven phases) from the Git master branch but this failed with errors below.
I am a Debian Linux user with Maven 3.0.5 and JDK 1.7 installed.
I am interested to hack on class ASTParser, which can parse Java code. I realise building Eclipse projects is hard, but I cannot find the definitive "recipe" page anywhere on the Net for building this project.
In my Eclipse Juno installation (updated to latest), this is my JDT Core JAR file: org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.8.3.v20130121-145325.jar. I tried to build on this tag (v20130121-145325), but I get a similar error.
Log from mvn validate on Git branch master:
