Hello Alessandra,
I'm glad to hear that this is now working for you. As you found,
the documentation sometimes gets out of date, so please feel free
to post questions to this mailing list at any time.
Norman

Hi Norman,
ok thank you, now it works in both the ways you suggested.
These are very useful pieces of information, that unfortunately I'm not so
familiar with the working environment yet to get by myself from confluence.
Thanks a lot for the explanation!
cheers
Alessandra

> Yes, unfortunately I still have an issue. Assuming that lcsim/trunk == hps_trunk upon checkout (am I wrong in this assumption? isn't lcsim coming bundled in the hps_trunk?), after compilation in hps_trunk I can find the file detector-data/target/hps-detector-data-3.0.2-SNAPSHOT.jar
