Unable to compile/run Activiti Designer Plugin

After spending a lot of time I'm not able to get the Activiti Designer plugin compilable.

I preceed according the description (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/ACT/Activiti+Designer+Developer+Guide).

Therefore I made a new Installation from scratch
- Indigo RCP/RAP
- Eclipse Modelling Framework (EMF) SDK
- Eclipse Graphiti SDK 0.9.1
- Subversive

After checking out the trunk (revision 223) within eclipse from https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti-Designer I switched over to the commandline and did execute
mvn clean eclipse:clean
and
mvn eclipse:eclipse

both commands was successful.

After this I switched back to the eclipse and made a refresh.

Up to this point everything seems to be ok.

But now I have a strange behavior:

1. According the description I should be able to perform the clean command. But this option is disabled (independant which node I select).
2. To run Designer, right click the org.activiti.designer.eclipse project and choose Run as > Eclipse application –> On my Installation I have only maven goals listed.
3. If I select the parent project (org.activiti.designer.parent) and try to run the target maven clean install the following output appears:

I know that this classes are in the enclosed activiti-bpmn-converter-5.12-SNAPSHOT.jar and activiti-bpmn-model-5.12-SNAPSHOT.jar, both located in the project
org.activiti.designer.libs

I also tried to run maven from the commandline -> same error.

Question: Do I need to put this jar to a special location (I tried to add the jars to the different projects but there is no way to add them as external jar or so.

To be sure, that I made something wrong, I asked my co-worker to try to get this project compilable (but he has the same problem).

I would be happy if someone could help me.

Many thanks, sjmo

I'll try to get the installation guidelines updated if needed after I'll do a fresh setup of an environment.
But that will probably be Friday, because I'm traveling this week. But I know of more people that are doing Designer development, so I don't understand why things are not working for you.

Best regards,
