ok -- builds now complete ok -- says Build Successful -- when building with the option -Dmaven.test.skip=true
but still get a bunch of the 1st type of errors -- that dont cause the build to fail, like [ERROR] The protocol for the JAR file's URL is not supported java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Only local file jars are supported what is the story on these types of errors.? also when the default tests are run i get a number of errors -- most seem to be associated with a windows dialog popup saying firefox is already running or something of the ilk. whats happening here? thanks gary
