Both - the installer contains the Visual Studio addin and will install all of the Maven elements into your local repository (.m2\repository under your user profile directory). So everything will work locally in this scenario. For a team to be able to use the Maven plugins without the installer, you need to unpack the repository (found in the same download directory - http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/npanday/binaries/) into a remote HTTP server that all can access, or reference directly from the URL I gave you. Could you provide some more detail of what has and hasn't worked so far so we can help with that? Regards, Brett -- Brett Porter [email protected] http://brettporter.wordpress.com/
