package.sh missing

[chiarcos]

With a fresh clone on Ubuntu, I get the error

          Please make sure to run package.sh first, and verify the jar-with-dependencies is present in the target folder

for any call to run.sh.

I guess the file has been forgotten in last commits.

This is indeed a bug: The text still refers to package.sh which was integrated into compile.sh. It should thus tell you to run compile.sh instead. This will be fixed.

However, the source of your error probably stems from the legacy execution environment, in which run.sh always executed compile.sh and you never needed to compile manually. However, doing this with maven will greatly increase the overhead before execution (because it will always check for updates first). That's why we decided to remove auto-compile from run.sh. You now need to manually compile once, before you can use run.sh. This should solve your problem immediately.

That's actually quite a problem. Most existing CoNLL-RDF scrpts rely on auto-compilation. Suggestion: Create an error message in run.sh that informs about the problem and the solution so that people can fix their build scripts.

That is exactly what this error message is supposed to do, except that it mentions the wrong file.

Please decide how this issue should be solved. There are two options:

1. Adjust the error message to mention the correct compile.sh
2. Re-introduce auto-compile and live with the performance drop (its not there when CoNLL-RDF is used within Fintan anyway, So there still is a non-legacy way of executing JSON-pipelines)

1. Adjust the error message to mention the correct compile.sh
   Also spell out the path and indicate that this is a CoNLL-RDF error ;) If this occurs somewhere deeply in a Makefile, people will get lost otherwise.
