Bad first impression bug ------------------------ Key: MNG-2265 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2265 Project: Maven 2 Type: Bug
Components: Errors Versions: 2.0.4 Environment: Linux Reporter: Frank Gutierrez This bug is about the importance of Maven's first impression. I'm a new user trying to follow the procedure in the book (better builds with maven) . I had two issues that made me wonder about the stability of the product. I love the ideas behind maven and I would hate to see the progress of the product slowed due to a bad first impression. #1) When issuing the archetype command it stopped in the middle of the procedure without an error message. I re-issued the command and it worked the second time around. $ mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app #2) When issuing the command "mvn site" there are ERROR messages that appear on the screen, again making me wonder about the stability of the product. See section of output below: [INFO] Velocimacro : initialization starting. [INFO] Velocimacro : adding VMs from VM library template : VM_global_library.vm [ERROR] ResourceManager : unable to find resource 'VM_global_library.vm' in any resource loader.
