I've just checked in the upgrade from 4.2.1.GA to 4.2.3.GA (rev3924) as the base AS version for the RHQ server.  This will have a traumatic effect on your next updated build.  Here are the steps I suggest you take when you're ready (note - do not svn up prematurely):

1. Clean everything from RHQ root

> cd <my-build-aread>/rhq-trunk
> mvn clean -Pdev,enterprise

2. Delete some things from your maven repository (typically HOME/.m2/respository)

> cd <m2-repo>
> rm -rf jboss
> rm -rf org.jboss

Or, if you haven't done it in a while, consider wiping out your whole repo and start fresh.  This could get rid of a lot of old stuff like outdated dependencies and SNAPSHOTS from 2.2 and maybe even earlier.  It will of course slow down your build as everything has to be fetched.

3. Update RHQ

> svn up

4. Build it all again

Note - you don't have to perform a dbsetup, that's all still valid.

> mvn install -Pdev,enterprise -Dmaven.test.skip

5. (optional) Build Jopr

Just svn up and build as usual.


You should be off and running, please let me know if anything fails in this process. And be wary of any new, unusual behavior, perhaps it has to do with one of the several upgraded packages.
