Hi. After quite a bit of poking I found several things: * IntelliJ IDEA 9 didn't support the Scala facet. * IntelliJ IDEA 10 Community Edition works. You need to install the Scala facet _first_ and configure it inside IDEA, and under Windows install the latest git distribution before using the github method on the front page to pull out from a VCS. Now I have a workspace without compilation errors and absolutely no idea of how to continue from here in an IDE I am unfamiliar with. It is a testament to the usefulness of logback that I even got this far without deciding my time is better used on something else. May I suggest that you consider lowering the threshold of how much work is actually needed to be _able_ to contribute to logback? If I want to add a few lines to the current "How to build logback" instructions on the web sites, I am expected to open a _bug report_ preferably with a patch attached to the underlying html-pages which you then need to have time to approve, check in, rebuild and deploy the website. That is probably not optimal. As you already know JIRA, you might also find Confluence (the Atlassian Wiki product) interesting, and it is free for open source projects (http://www.atlassian.com/software/views/open-source-license-request). If you want to keep strict control of the official documentation, then just have a "Comments" link on the bottom of each page for a identically named page in Confluence. For now, I have decided that I will develop the JDK14Appender I need based on a binary logback distribution instead.

In that case it appears that I am missing some files. IDEA 10 (Community Edition) complains about plenty e..g not being able to find
SizeBasedRolling_STest.class, TimeBasedRolling_STest.class, SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP_STest.class
And there were some comments about refactoring these five months ago.
Can anybody else either confirm my findings that logback doesn't build or confirm that repository X builds as is of today?

Thanks for a prompt reply.
I am building directly from a clone of git master. Is there a specific tag I should use to choose a suitable commit?
No, need to chose a special tag or commit. Clone of master should be fine.
Maven reports:
Tests in error:
autoConfigFromSystemProperties(ch.qos.logback.classic.util.ContextInit ialize
rTest)
[snip]
That's a lot of failures.
Tests run: 374, Failures: 0,git Errors: 17, Skipped: 10
You may have forgotten to check in some files? Have your CI-engine reported anything?
No, logback build on different machines. However, on busy or slow machines build failures occur frequently. Failures in ContextInitializerTest seem to indicate that the tests are not run in an independent JVM. Failures in ReconfigureOnChangeTest indicate that the tests are run on a slow/busy machine.
It sucks that logback does not build on all machines.
If you use IDEA and it works well, I'll have a go tomorrow. We happen to have a license for IntelliJ IDEA 9.
IDEA licenses are date-based, at the least the license I have is. So you should be able to upgrade to the latest version of IDEA with your existing license.
