[Social-p2p] Getting up and running with Java: (i) json gem needed (ii) org.apache.commons.cli.CommandLineParser missing

[Dan Brickley]

Suggestions for improving the install notes

My notes from #social-p2p as I tried to get running with a snapshot of
the Git repo, this morning:

<danbri> FYI to run 'spec .', I also needed to do "gem install json"

(ie. this should go on the list of dependencies)

 <danbri> and i get an error,
 <danbri> Starting core 0
 <danbri> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/commons/cli/CommandLineParser
 <danbri> Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.apache.commons.cli.CommandLineParser
 <danbri> maybe Maven failed on that one...
 <danbri> grepping my maven package install log,  grep -i command
maven.txt  -> finds nothing
 <danbri> (just from the package lists that scrolled past in stdout)

I'm not a Maven maven, but assume this last hiccup is probably
something trivial. Something missing from the maven config?

cheers,

Dan

ps. I sent my contributor paperwork back to FSF for the GNU Social
project; does that work for the P2P effort too, hopefully? Or more
papers needed separately...
