Hi guys,
I've recently installed Maven 2.0.7 together with jdk 1.6 on Windows Vista and
I'm having quite a few problems. It seems maven is unable to download most of
the artifacts I need, for example the following command doesn't work:
C:\Users\toby\workspace>mvn -e archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app
-DartifactId=my-webapp -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp
I get the following error:

I have installed maven in c:\program files\java\maven-2.0.7
I had no problems using maven with xp so i suspect the problem may be something
to do with vista's more restrictive permissions. Has anyone else come across
this problem?
Thanks
Toby
