Hi

I am completely new to maven, just running through some ServiceMix
tutorials (completely new to that too).

Tracking down a 'mvn install' failure that said:

[INFO]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD FAILURE
[INFO]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Compilation failure

error: error

/home/rjt/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring-dao/2.0.6/spring-dao-2.0.6.jar;
 error in opening zip file
error: error

error: error

error in opening zip file

I discover that the contents of these files are all spam web pages with
the title: "Truck Performance Chips". I then searched my local
repository for the same string and I get:

grep -r Truck\ Performance\ Chips *
commons-collections/commons-collections/2.1/commons-collections-2.1.pom:<title>Car
 &amp; Truck Performance Chips</title>
commons-pool/commons-pool/1.2/commons-pool-1.2.pom:<title>Car &amp;

Chips</title>
xerces/xerces/2.0.2/xerces-2.0.2.pom:<title>Car &amp; Truck Performance
Chips</title>

This all looks very worrying. It suggests that one of the online
repositories has been infiltrated.

Is there anyway to discover which repository these files came from?

I am beginning to worry about safety of using all this code pulled
automatically from online repositories :-(

Regards

Richard
