Hi:

I very new in broadleaf, I 'm trying to install the demosite source code in eclipse moon, but I get the following errors, please help me, I'm desperate.

Thanks.

@tonyliang

I also encountered that problems but what i do is i added the -Dmaven.multiModuleProjectDirectory on the build.xml to the value of maven.home path. Or change the version of maven.

Thanks for you reply. And questions more below.
1) build.xml or build.properties? And could you please post your code here?
2) maven.home on my build.properties
maven.home=C:/\data_for_work/\JAVA/\JavaTools/\Maven/\bin/\apache-maven-3.3.3

hello @tony

This is what i added on my build.xml on both site and admin.
<jvmarg value="-Dmaven.multiModuleProjectDirectory=maven.home>" />
then i run again.

Thank you, Junel. I will test your solutio on my PC later.
With other solution, I launch demo(site) successfully. I will post it below.

This issue is fixed. Detail is as below.

=========================== Root cause / solution ==================================================
It must be that broadleaf 4.0 is not compatible well with maven 3.3. After change to maven 3.2, it pass on step 5(see original post).
maven 3.2 is recommended as instraction of Getting Started.

steps to fix:
1) download and setup(extract zip file, update M2_HOME ...) apache-maven-3.2.3 on my PC
2) update maven.home on build.properties as below
maven.home=C:/\data_for_work/\JAVA/\JavaTools/\Maven/\bin/\apache-maven-3.2.3

reference:
http://www.broadleafcommerce.com/docs/c ... ng-started
You will also need the latest version of Maven (at least version 3.1, version 3.2 is recommended)...

=========================== change JRE from 1.7 to 1.8========================================
I change JRE from 1.7 to 1.8 on my PC since I change broadleaf 3.2 to 4.0. Then I encountered some issues about JRE version(e.g. tomat
reuse JRE 1.7 although java version shown on cmd line is 1.8.0_60 ).

I post key steps to update JRE version to save others effort in case somebody encounter similar issue.
1) update ENV varialbe of JAVA_HOME. // check it by cmd: java -version

2) update/check JRE about compile on Eclipse
ecllipse -> window -> preferences -> Java -> Compiler
ecllipse -> window -> preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs

3) update/check JRE about run on Eclipse // On my PC, log show that compile with JRE 1.8, but run with JRE 1.7, then got issue
ecllipse -> Run->External Tools->External Tools Configurations->JRE -> Runtime JRE -> Separate JRE
