Maven is trying to download all the dependencies that the Application you are trying to build needs so that you don't have too. Who would of thunk it, a build system that tries to make your life easier? If the destination is unreachable then you can go to the site and get the JAR file yourself and install it into you own local repo. All of which is documented at the Maven website. http://maven.apache.org/guides/index.html > I was really only interested in ActiveMQ but I find myself now wondering > if the Apache people are playing a joke on the rest of the community :-) Are you just looking to install a Broker, there are builds available here: http://www.activemq.org/site/download.html > "Hey, let's make a build system that G-d himself couldn't understand!" > You know? No actually it's, "Hey, let's make a build system that eliminates all the work and tedium needed to build, test, and deploy an application."
