Hi,
I am exhausted and decide to give up.
If you really want to help me out, please remove your local repo
completely, build from the ground and tell me how many problems you
find. Not 1, not 2, not 3 even not 4, many, as far as I can tell you.
Anyway, I will monitor the trunk to see if someday I can compile
it. The trunk is where I should start.
Hi Fei Li,
There are multiple threads on multiple mailing lists for this same
problem.
There was a general problem that seems to be a combination of an
issue with configuration changes to the maven repository at maven2-repository.dev.java.net
and potentially a bug in the maven dependency report plugin. See http://old.nabble.com/Stuck%2C-cannot-build%2C-repository-down---td24941611.html
for additional information.
To fix your issue:

After looking into this some more and discussing it off-line with
Jarek I've learned the following:
- It isn't really returning a bogus pom or jar ... it is just
returning a redirect. Maven wrongly assumes that this is the
actual file that was requested and persists it as such.
- Using Maven 2.2.1 (I was using 2.0.10) doesn't handle the
redirects any better and so doesn't fix the problem.
- For tags/2.1.4 maven 2.2.1 also causes other problems so it's
best to stick with maven 2.1.10 of you are building Geronimo 2.1.*
- org/apache/yoko/yoko/1.0/yoko-1.0.pom includes a repository list
that points to https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/nonav/repositorid
of java.net so this is why we are pulling in that repo
- If I add the following to my settings.xml for maven I can avoid
the redirect (and hence avoid the bogus poms/jars) and get beyond
this problem to build Geronimo 2.1.4 using maven 2.0.10.

Now documented at http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDEV/building-apache-geronimo.html
If you are interested in working on the development of Geronimo 3.0,
you'd be more than welcome. If you are interested in using Geronimo,
I would not recommend using trunk. You should be using geronimo/
server/branches/2.2 or geronimo/server/tags/2.1.4, instead.
