[aerogear-dev] broken build (master and 0.11.0 tag)

Hi, since Friday, all in a sudden, the node.js part of the build (triggered by the frontend plugin inside the 'server' module) is failing on different ways. Extremely odd: the 0.11.0 tag is effected as well. The release (on maven central) is good, but ATM we are not able to build the source on the 0.11.0 tag :-( Oh, yeah, Travis-CI notice the broken build as well ;-) and thankfully abstractj put in a PR to have a temporary fix for the build failure: https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-unifiedpush-server/pull/293 Thanks Bruno! Yesterday Bruno, Villiam and Luke looked at this already, and they noticed a failure like this: [INFO] --- frontend-maven-plugin:0.0.15:npm (npm install) @ unifiedpush-server --- [INFO] Running 'npm install --color=false' in /home/travis/build/aerogear/aerogear-unifiedpush-server/admin-ui [INFO] npm WARN package.json newadmin(a)0.0.0 No repository field.
