Maven build fails

[jmvanel]

Currently Hermit from the github HEAD fails to build on Java 8.

Apparently the Maven is made for Subversion (svn) hosting, whereas is it on git .

mvn --version

There's a symbolic link in the source paths that might be causing that.

I never tried the build on java 8 but if you are using this with java 8 and can use owlapi 5 there is a release available on maven central. Look for hermit version 1.3.8.500 under the net.sourceforge.owlapi group.
