Hi ,

While trying to compile hadoop source (ant -Djavac.args="-Xlint
-Xmaxwarns 1000"  tar)  i  get below error . Kindly let me know how
to fix this issue.
I have java 6 installed .

[javadoc] Standard Doclet version 1.6.0_07
  [javadoc] Building tree for all the packages and classes...
  [javadoc] Building index for all the packages and classes...
  [javadoc] Building index for all classes...

java5.check:

BUILD FAILED
/home/raghu/src-hadoop/trunk/build.xml:890: 'java5.home' is not defined.  Forrest requires Java5.  Please pass -Djava5.home=<base of Java 5 distribution> to Ant on the command-line.
Thanks,
Raghu

I think the error is self-explanatory.  Forrest need JDK1.5 and you can pass
it using -Djava5.home argument.
May be something like the following:

ant -Djavac.args="-Xlint  -Xmaxwarns 1000"  -Djava5.home={base of Java 5
distribution} tar

Forrest is used just for building documentation, by the way. If you want to
compile the Hadoop core jars you can do ant jar and it won't require
Forrest.
