Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dhttp.auth.preference=ntlm

Or if I try debugging i get this:

Connected to the target VM, address: '127.0.0.1:61072', transport: 'socket'
Disconnected from the target VM, address: '127.0.0.1:61072', transport: 'socket'

Run mvn package before starting FessBoot.

The mvn package ran succesfully. However I`m trying to run based on the source code from IntelliJ IDEA.
Following the documentation:

Launch org.codelibs.fess.FessBoot as Debug mode and then access to http://localhost:8080/

To run on IDEA, could you remove provided scope of tomcat-boot and tomcat-jasper in pom.xml?

Hi thanks for that! I updated the pom.xml and now I’m on to the next error. I spent some time searching the web and trying to figure it out but i`m stuck again.

The following jar files seem to be missing, and i can’t get Maven/IDEA to download them:
Do these have to be installed manually or is it just my environment that`s not configured properly?

Run mvn package, and then dependencies are downloaded.

I did run mvn package see above also. When i run mvn package it builds with success. When i build for debug i get errors of missing packages.

Please check Local Repository in Preference -> Build,Execution,Deployment -> Build Tools -> Maven.
I think it’s a general problem about IDEA/Maven, not Fess…

I managed to successfully build the solution this morning. I think the issue was that the corporate proxy was blocking some of the domains you referenced. I used a different connection and it all started working. I could build for debug using IntelliJ and also package the release with Maven. Thanks for your support.
