If you tried it before the patch, it wouldn't have worked. - Stephen
Thanks for the clarification. I do seem to remember poking around, frustratedly, by hand, in more than one maven2 repository, around mid June, looking for ANY sort of wstx jars, and couldn't find any. So I ended up installing the jar that the ant task downloaded, to match the groupid already defined in the pom. Anyway, it's nice now to see it (maven) working the way it's designed. And even nicer to understand these details. Thanks. Charles
