Hi - this is a plea to someone with good command of the English language and deep understanding of the guts of Maven 2... if such a person exists.
Please can explain what maven does to resolve a dependency. Currently when I try: mvn eclipse:eclipse It fails miserably with the cryptic message... The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-eclipse-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found I've tried using -e and -X but as usual none of the output makes any sense to anyone but a maven developer. (FYI - I've read the usual resources on this and would not be asking this question if I found a satisfactory answer. I've read the "Better Builds..." book and have to say I really don't like it and it didn't answer my questions either. It's not written from a user perspective and hence is not useful.) Where is maven looking for this plugin? How does it know (and is it correct in assuming) that it should be org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-eclipse-plugin ? >From what I gather, maven should look in: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/eclipse/ but when I browse there, I don't find any versions available. Is there something wrong with the maven repository right now? very mysterious... Please help if you can!
