You've got to start at the beginning. Go to the simplest jar that has the fewest dependencies, build it, and install it (mvn install).
Then go to the next one (that probably has a dependency on the first one) and do the same. Rinse and repeat until all jars build and are installed. If these are all part of the same larger project, then you should probably have a parent pom with <modules> specified. Then when you build from the top parent, Maven figures out the correct build graph and things Just Work. Wayne On 10/23/07, Danni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi All, > I am new to maven.
