[mat-dev] updated build instructions?

[Imran Rashid <imran@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm new to MAT, trying to build it with maven following these instructions:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/MemoryAnalyzer/Building_MAT_With_Tycho

However, that build failed.  Eventually I found that the build command on hudson included profiles, so then I tried building with

mvn -P build-server,build-kepler-rcp -Dskip-ui-tests clean install

this still failed with

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.eclipse.cbi.maven.plugins:eclipse-jarsigner-plugin:1.0.5:sign (sign) on project org.eclipse.mat.report: Could not sign artifact org.eclipse.mat:org.eclipse.mat.report:eclipse-plugin:1.5.0-SNAPSHOT: Connection to http://build.eclipse.org:31338 refused: Operation timed out -> [Help 1]

just the "compile" goal did succeed, though.  I'm not sure why "install" is trying to sign the artifacts -- I just want a locally published jar.  It did work after I changed the phase of the "sign" execution to "deploy", instead of "verify". 

Finally, the "updatesite" & "rcp" modules failed to build with

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-antrun-plugin:1.7:run (deploy) on project org.eclipse.mat.updatesite: An Ant BuildException has occured: Directory does not exist: /home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/mat/snapshots/update-site

I didn't care about those modules, so I just removed it from the parent pom, but maybe there should be another fix for that too? Should the build instructions be updated, or am I doing something else wrong?

If it matters at all, I am trying to publish a jar locally because I want to access MAT from within another java program, not as a plugin at all.

thanks,

Imran
