Building confluence from source in 4.3 - still broken?

[JamieA]

I was hoping that the previously reported issues with missing dependencies would be resolved in confluence 4.3, but in fact not.

Now I am missing com.atlassian.plugins.rest:atlassian-rest-doclet:jar:2.6.2.1.

Moreover the root pom seems to have been removed, was that intentional? The build.bat/sh no longer works.

With 4.3.1: com.atlassian.confluence:confluence-not-shippable:jar:4.3.1 is missing.

Could you guys not test this from starbucks without being logged in to the Atlassian network before you press the release button?

I have worked around this by

1. installing a later version of rest:atlassian-rest-doclet into my local repo as 2.6.2.1
2. Removing the dependency on confluence-acceptance-tests, which is what requires the non-shippable thing. Should not be required unless you run the tests.

Still, would be nice if it worked out of the box.

Looks like the root pom has been removed by design, as in 4.3.1 the build.bat just calls each of the other poms.

Checking with the Confluence team for feedback.

Removing the root pom was intentional - the other problems weren't. I've raised https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-26828 and notified the Confluence team. Vote/watch the ticket for future updates.
