Hello,
I'll appreciate if anyone can help me running the first spring application in the book.
The soruce code is in src\chapter1\springfirst

I have compiled it and when I ran it using this command:

mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=com.wrox.begspring.CalculateSpring -Dexec.args="3000 3"

I got this error:

[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix:'exec'

[INFO] Building springfirst
[INFO] task-segment: [exec:java]

Thank you

Hi Elvin Lee,
I am EverettG and started with this book several months ago. One of the first things I did was read through every post in this forum and relate each thread to the chapters of the book. As you can see many of the original posters have stopped and there are very few current ones. Also recently we have had one of the authors start to contribute to the forum. This has helped tremendously. I hope he continues. In the mean time, you are experiencing a problem almost all of the prior posters experienced when they tried to run the code in chapter 1. The particular post you should read is titled Build error. You should be able to get your answer there, It helped me. I will be continuing on and off through the book and posting any problems/solutions I find. Currently I am finished through chapter 4. I will help in any way that I can. Hope this helps.

Until next time...............

EverettG.

Thank you Everett.

I have found the answer. I have just had to download: org.apache.commons.logging.jar file from http://commons.apache.org/downloads/...ad_logging.cgi and then put that jar file on my C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\jre\lib\ext directory.
