I tried a clean checkout, and it seems ok for me. Interesting, the transitive dependencies should have picked it up in that case. My build still fails with the following [INFO] [compiler:compile] | Compiling 12 source files to /home/kevin/microcontainer/microcontainer/deployers/target/classes | [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE | [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | [INFO] Compilation failure | | /home/kevin/microcontainer/microcontainer/deployers/src/main/org/jboss/deployers/plugins/deployers/kernel/BeanMetaDataDeployer.java:[67,19] cannot access org.jboss.dependency.spi.dispatch.InvokeDispatchContext | file org/jboss/dependency/spi/dispatch/InvokeDispatchContext.class not found | controller.install(context); This is a version as of about two days ago. I'll delve deeper into it since the transitive dependency should exist. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4033457#...
