Hello all
         
        (I originally posted this on
          platform-releng-dev and it was suggested cbi-dev might be a
          better place to ask for advice. If I’m still in the wrong list
          then please let me know)
         
        I’m struggling to build the Eclipse
          platform from the R4_3_maintance branch. I used to be able to
          do so using the instructions from
          http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng/Platform_Build 
          but about 1 week ago the build started to fail. My build
          process is this
         
            git clone -b master --recursive
git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator.git
            cd
          eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator
            git checkout -b R4_3_maintenance
          origin/R4_3_maintenance
            git submodule update
            export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx2048m
          -XX:MaxPermSize=512m"
            export JAVAVER=jdk1.7.0_13
            mvn --toolchains ~/.toolchains.xml
          clean verify 2>&1 | tee build-output.log
         
        which I think reproduce the instructions
          from the above page and this method was working for more than
          a month.
         
        I've checked the following
         
        + I don't have a settings.xml file in my
          ~/.m2 directory
        + I have checked for pom.xml updates and
          I can't find any
        + My JVM is running in server mode
        + My version of maven is later than the
          requirement
        + I’ve removed my .m2 folder just in
          case I had something cached that was causing the problem.
        + I’ve tried both with and without
          -Pbree-libs on the mvn command line and both builds fail in
          the same way
         
        The error I get when building is:
         
        [ERROR] Failed to execute goal

        Can anybody offer suggestions for what I
          need to do to get the build working again?
         
        Thanks in advance
