wso2 - so many maven issues when building from source

I have tried many different combinations of tags and branches, and none of them seem to build successfully first time around.

Question: Is this a known problem when building WSO2 products? If lots of errors are expected, then I know that it's not necessarily me doing something wrong.

EDIT:

After finally building a product (Identity Server) from platform branch 4.0.0, I can say: building from source can be difficult. I think this is mainly because:

  1. The code base is huge
  2. Code, files, etc may be checked into svn in a broken state

You have to be prepared when things go wrong to hunt down the problem and have a go at digging in the code, build files, etc to resolve the issue.

When I get a chance, I will put some instructions together which walk through a complete checkout and build of platform from scratch, because I think this will be immensely useful for others wanting to build a product.
