Problems while building activiti from source

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I tried to build activiti from the source by following Activiti developers guide.
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/ACT/Developers+Guide
But when I run 'ant clean distro', it seems unable to find any packages.
After installing these jars manually,

aopalliance-1.0.jar
asm-commons-3.2.jar
cglib-2.2.jar
commons-codec-1.2.jar
doxia-modules-apt.1.1.2.jar
maven-common-artifacts-filters-1.3.jar
maven-surefire-common-2.7.1.jar
plexus-utils-2.0.5.jar
spring-jdbc-3.0.3.RELEASE.jar
spring-orm-3.0.3.RELEASE.jar
surefire-api-2.7.1.jar
surefire-booter-2.7.1.jar

There are errors when building activiti spring:

What should I do?

Hi,

I`ve tried it with the actual sources again - without having problems. Have you installed maven? What happens if you type "mvn" at your shell?

Best regards
