copied!<p>I succeeded building, but it took me quite a few days. I think that improving the build process (and documentation) is a <strong>must</strong> for WSO2 to attract new developers. During my frustration, I created some JIRA's that reflect this:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://wso2.org/jira/browse/CARBON-14121" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://wso2.org/jira/browse/CARBON-14121</a></li> <li><a href="https://wso2.org/jira/browse/DOCUMENTATION-67" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://wso2.org/jira/browse/DOCUMENTATION-67</a> </li> </ul> <p>Like you I was massively frustrated by the whole build and support process. After the lengthy pain getting to my first successful build, I have put WSO2 stuff to the side for a while to focus on some other projects. I'm not sure I'm ready to go back and attempt to build everything from scratch just yet!!!</p> <p>I think the main problem that us non-WSO2 developers have is that there isn't an experienced developer sitting next to us to guide you through the issues. Stackoverflow doesn't encourage this sort of community. I think there is a need for a WSO2 user group - where frustrated new (and experienced) developers can help each other out, or at least give each other moral support. </p> <p>One thing that may help you is to focus on a smaller chunk of WSO2. AXIS2, Synapse or Carbon are all projects that are a much smaller bite size, which probably makes sense mastering for a WSO2 newbie developer. Also, there is an exciting new project donated to Apache by WSO2 - <a href="http://stratos.incubator.apache.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Apache Stratos</a>. This project may help you get on the ladder.</p> <p>Finally, coming back to your frustration, and cynicism towards WSO2. As mentioned above, I had similar strong feelings during my first build. As time has moved on, I believe WSO2 is a completely transparent company. I just think their community model isn't right yet. This <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15341205/wso2-community-experiences">post</a> touches on some of the issues.</p>
