"JPivot had an error" on embedded install on Ubuntu 14.04

[cirosantilli]

To reproduce

Ubuntu 14.04.

Install Oracle Java 7 with:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install -y oracle-java7-installer

(has to be 7, 8 does not work)

Set:

export JAVA_HOME='/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle'

on ~/.profile

Install Tomcat 7 with:

sudo aptitude install -y tomcat7

And set the Java for it at sudo vim /etc/default/tomcat7:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle

Start tomcat: sudo service start tomcat7. localhost:8080 shows it's running.

Clone this repo, and:

ant derby-war

Unzip lib/mondrian-embedded.war to TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/mondrian-embedded`.

What happens

• http://localhost:8080/mondrian-embedded/ shows the list of examples. Good.

• http://localhost:8080/mondrian/testpage.jsp?query=mondrian, the first link, gives

  JPivot had an error
  

  with the following stack trace: https://gist.github.com/cirosantilli/3d65bf5f816c2e51de0e#file-testpage

• http://localhost:8080/mondrian-embedded/xmlaTest.jsp gives

  HTTP Status 500 - javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: mondrian/test/DiffRepository
  

  with the following stack trace: https://gist.github.com/cirosantilli/3d65bf5f816c2e51de0e#file-testpage

Maybe http://lists.pentaho.org/pipermail/mondrian/2014-October/004999.html would solve this? But it requires so many Mondrian-specific manual steps that I haven't tried. I recommend keeping this open until I find what I did wrong, or a better installation method exists.

It would be great if there was a simpler install method on Ubuntu like a PPA, or a VM.
