This page intends to list known working configurations for Geronimo Building.

Note: It's always recommended to use the latest final release of JDK 1.4.2 on your operating system. Maven 1.1-beta-2 is the only one that is guaranteed to work properly (though Maven 1.0.2 should work too). There're some reports about having problems with different configurations than those stated in this document.
