I'm guessing maven can work offline if it's already got needed JARs cached locally - it does seem a weakness though that internet problems or servers being down or inaccessible can prevent a clean build from running. It rather hampers contributors like me who rely on hours spent in airports and hotels to escape our normal work and be able to work on and contribute code.

To be fair... I think the problem is not maven itself, but the lack of a few
good, fast and highly available repositories that serve all you need and
then some. Too many artifacts scattered over too many bad (as in 'not so
good, fast and highly available') repositories :S

Too bad this happens when everyone is drunk... erm at JavaOne I mean ;)

Subject: Re: building felix from maven

I've been trying last few days also without success

I'm sure maven has many good qualities and is a good model for shared artefacts across many projects as Apache needs, but it isn't worth a bean if people can't do a simple checkout and build easily

Give me Ant anyday frankly - maybe it's a little cumbersome to do fancy stuff, but it's easy and it works.

I had 2 days set aside to do some HttpService work and they've gone now
- the maven problems totally stopped me using them usefully.

Not a fan .... -100

Hello the list,
is it me, or it is not currently possible to build felix from maven ?

It seems that the acces to codehaus repository is forbidden.

Any clue ?
I tried the mirror trick but it stop some lines later...
