1. If you are attempting to build and you see the following error:

No supported regular expression matcher found: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.Jdk14RegexpRegexp

Or something similar, you need to install additional optional ant jars. On Ubuntu, try

apt-get install ant-optional

2. Problem :
If you see any of the following error while loading the module like :
Unable to load/find moduleActivator: 'org.openmrs.module.basicmodule-parent.MyFirstActivator'

Solution :
Go to the <module omod file> 's pom.xml file and replace the following :
<MODULE_ID>${project.parent.artifactId}

</MODULE_ID>
with the following
<MODULE_ID>${artifactId}

</MODULE_ID>
