## Post #1 by @Rodrigo_Filgueira1

I've downloaded maven, openehr kernel and JDK 1.5 update 2 for Windows XP.
Installed JDK and Maven successfully, changed to base project directory and run 'maven test'
First it started to download a lot of software log4j, commons, etc.
Then tests started to be run and this is what I get in the end:

**BUILD FAILED**
**File...... C:\Documents and Settings\rodrigo\.maven\cache\maven-test-plugin-1.6.2\plugin.jelly**
**Element... fail**
**Line...... 181**
**Column.... 54**
**There were test failures.**
**Total time: 10 seconds**
**Finished at: Fri Apr 08 17:42:48 GMT-03:00 2005**

I also have another question, one compiled, how should I use the kernel?

cheers

Ok now.
Tested this same procedure with a tweak in W2K and got:

[junit] Testcase: testBuildAddress took 0.156 sec

The only difference in this case was adding maven lib and lib/endorsed folders to the classpath.

I really need to make this work on XP, any ideas?

thank you all

Rong,

Thanks for your answer\.
I still get the error messages in Windows XP, and the Install file states a successful compilation in XP\.
My workstation at the university has XP and HP does not support W2K in this workstations, so I really need to make this work in XP\.
Could anybody describe the environment configuration used when compiled in XP?

thank you

More info on this problem\.
I found the following failure report on test report "TEST\-org\.openehr\.rm\.datatypes\.quantity\.DvQuantityTest\.xml"

I do not know exactly what it means since I'm no maven expert\. I checked out DvQuantityTest and did not find a problem\.
Sounds more like a Maven problem\. Maybe because of the LOCALE settings?

I'll give it a try\.

Thanks for reporting this to us\!

It turns out to be a bug in the unit test code \(DvQuantityTest\)\. It uses a hard coded string to verify toString\(\) of DvQuantity, and that string includes a decimal separator, which is decided by the default locale\. For different locale, the separator could be different\.

I have fixed it in the repository now\.

Regards,
Rong
