Description

Trying to use the tool CCM ( Cassandra Cluster Manger ) I've been blocked by an issue related to compiling Cassandra source. CCM installs Cassandra builds it source before anything else. However the CCM thrown an error
https://gist.github.com/AdelinGhanaem/593d1c8a63857113d0a7 here you can find all info you need.
I've then tried to download the source and compile it using "ant jar" but I've got the same error.
Basically the jars that are installed then running "ant jar" are corrupted !
Extract them with "jar xf" thrown an error.
The only way that I could build the source is by downloading the jars by hand from maven. I've described the error and the process in this post here
