Build fail when attempting to install yellowgrass from github
I am attempting to use the github repository to install yellowgrass:
https://github.com/webdsl/yellowgrass
The build always fails, even when using three alternative approaches.
(1) First I did:
webdsl build deployand the build failed with the following error messages:

ASF+SDF supports rather sophisticated language facilities such as parameterized modules and typing-checking. It could be presumed that one of the goals of languages such as ASF+SDF is to support programming-in-the-large. So it is rather surprising to see that the kind of broken builds typical of less-powerful, less carefully-designed languages - in a published, open-source “reference” application using the language.
Yellowgrass (and WebDSL, and Stratego/XT, and ASF+SDF, and TomCat) are non-trivial software packages which rely on many libraries and which have rather lengthy configuration files.
Can we really say that yellowgrass follows the spirit of “open-source” if it is being published with no readme?
Has anyone else installed yellowgrass from github?
Is the github repository for yellowgrass incomplete or obsolete?
Does anyone have any advice on how to install yellowgrass from github?
Thank you.

Issue Log
On 14 December 2014 at 11:18 Danny Groenewegen commented:
Elib is a Git submodule, to check out the full yellowgrass:
git clone https://github.com/webdsl/yellowgrass.git cd yellowgrass git submodule update --initThe remaining build errors are related to changes in WebDSL: some of the helper functions were moved to the standard library, and placeholders now have statically checked variable names. I will have a look at it this week, these are simple to fix. We haven’t added any features to Yellowgrass lately so it hasn’t been updated yet.
On 15 December 2014 at 06:28 Stefan commented:
Hi thanks for the fast response.
Previously I was testing YellowGrass on a remote (headless) server using the command-line interface.
Now I have installed WebDSL as an Eclipse plug-in (as you recommended in issue 822). I’m testing building yellowgrass in Eclipse and it is still failing to build - apparently with the same errors.
The error messages are listed below for reference.
I will check back later to see when any fixes you mentioned may been made (regarding WebDSL’s helper functions now moved to the standard library, and placeholders now having statically typed variable names);
Thanks!

BUILD FAILED
On 15 December 2014 at 10:35 Elmer van Chastelet commented:
I have some local uncommitted changes. I’ll push these today. It will switch to the elib-bootstrap and elib-utils submodules. This also updates the placeholders to respect the new syntax where placeholder variables should be declared as ordinary template variables (placeholders cannot be declared inline anymore).
On 19 December 2014 at 13:20 Danny Groenewegen commented:
The errors have been fixed in Elmer’s commit. Yellowgrass uses some HQL queries that are not supported by the in-memory/in-file H2 database engine, so use MySQL also for testing.
