Is anyone else having a problem retrieving j2ee-1.3.jar ?
I believe I am having this problem with jelly as well. What I don't understand is why are these dependencies there when they cannot possibly be automatically retrieved?
Because the developer has specified that they are needed to build/run the project and it won't work without them. Automatic downloading and population of the local repository is an additional feature.
Why aren't they replaced with a message telling you where to get them from?How can a generic build tool know where to get an arbitrary third party dependency if it's not in either the remote or local repository?
Where is the documentation explaining this and telling you how to fix it?The third paragraph of the user's getting started guide
(http://maven.apache.org/start/use.html)
"2) JARs that don't exist in the local or remote repositories will result in an error. In either case, you'll have to download those yourself and manually place them in $MAVEN_HOME/repository"
The repository is now in the user's home directory by default, not MAVEN_HOME, but the information is there pretty much at the entry point in the documentation.
