Building and Running the Code

[Jonecir Souza]

I followed the instructions to build and run the book's project code. So I have first installed Maven (lastest version) and Java (v. 1.7.0_91). Then I type the following command

% mvn package -DskipTests

However, I've got the following compilation errors:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile (default-compile) on project common: Fatal error compiling: directory not found: /home/hadoop-book-master/common/target/classes -> [Help 1]
[ERROR]
[ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch.
[ERROR] Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.
[ERROR]
[ERROR] For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles:
[ERROR] [Help 1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/MojoExecutionException
[ERROR]
[ERROR] After correcting the problems, you can resume the build with the command
[ERROR] mvn -rf :common

Looking at the /common folder I actually could not find the target/classes folder. What should I do?

Thanks
