Well, I found a "fix" to this issue - I am just going to post it here in case anyone else encouters a similar issue.
Apparently, it relates to some sort of error in build.xml file in the ~\snc_1_0\deployer folder.
The particular line that was causing the build to fail was line 91 of this file, which looks like this:
<target name="data-purge">
Line 91 --> <java classname="com.adobe.solutions.snc.utils.DatabaseExporter" failonerror="false" fork="true"
classpathref="hibernate.setup.path">
<jvmarg value="-Dhibernate.bytecode.provider=javassist"/>
<arg line="create-drop ${dist.dir}/hibernate-test.cfg.xml ${database.driver.class} ${database.connection.url} ${database.username} ${database.password}"/>
</java>
</target>
The "failonerror" attribute is by default set to "true", thus an error was occurring, so the build was set to fail. I changed this to false so that I could build this building block, but doing so has filled me with trepidation that something isn't going to be writing to my database correctly.
Does anyone know what a failure in this segment of this build.xml file means as far as the built SNC building block? (Remember this is the build.xml file in the deployer folder and not the install folder).
In other words - does this mean I should be expecting some kind of lingering error in this building block - and if so, what would that issue most likely be so that I can keep an eye out for it?
