Hi, I am just getting up to speed with maven and I have a couple of projects that use maven. I have been fighting with maven / dependencies / mirrors and repositories for the better part of a week now with my projects always ending up with being unable to resolve dependencies. Usually on a bunch of the same jar files (commons-lang, commons-discovery - to name a couple).
I am using maven 3.0.3 with jdk150_12. What I have found out is that I can manually install these jar files into my (what I assume to be local repository) using mvn install:install-file command. I get the correct successfully updated response to this command and re-run my mvn clean install command. Only to find that the result is exactly the same "build failure" with the same jar files being not found. If I look into my local repository and follow the artifact/group/version path I see my jar file is happily sitting there, but for some reason is not recognised or found. I dont understand how come it appears to me that maven 3.0.3 is not looking at my local repository for my files? Also how come everytime I run the command mvn install maven 3.0.3 goes off into the internet and tries to download all the files again? I did some further investigation into the problem and actually went and got the binaries for maven 2.0.11. I updated my path variables and then re-ran my build on the project under maven 2.0.11 using mvn clean install. This time after an age of downloading and updating files the project successfully built. I have not changed any source code in the project or altered the pom file (which maybe the issue) in any way. I understood that maven 3 is backwards compatible with maven 2 projects? Is there any tutorials / migration paths / updates that I need to apply to my pom file to build the application under maven 3.0.3? I attached the pom and settings files and I can provide the environment paths etc required and I also have a list of missing jar files that are causing the issue that I can supply as well. I would like to build the project under maven 3 or at least understand why the project is not or cannot be built under maven 3. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
