I’ve been using Chandler for a few weeks now to try to organize my life.

I tried building Chandler Server from source today. Following the instructions on their site give’s me a build error because it can’t find a copy of Apache Abdera

Some of the error:

/mnt/drive2/chandler/cosmo/cosmo/src/main/java/org/osaf/cosmo/atom/provider/UserTarget.java:[20,46] cannot find symbol
symbol  : class AbstractTarget
location: package org.apache.abdera.protocol.server.impl

/mnt/drive2/chandler/cosmo/cosmo/src/main/java/org/osaf/cosmo/atom/provider/BaseItemTarget.java:[25,45] cannot find symbol

After much fiddeling around, and even trying to install Abdera from source, I was able to get it to build by checking out everything related to cosmo and building that.

• svn co http://svn.osafoundation.org/server/cosmo/trunk
• cd trunk/cosmo
• mvn package

ta-da.

I still get some errors with the unit tests, but I don’t know if those are serious or not yet.

Now let’s see if it run’s with Tomcat 6.0
