Hello Andreas, Can you run the same command but with the --debug option? This will help to trace what is the source of the problem, it can be anything here, especially as your proxy may not be configured properly.
mvn --debug -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true archetype:generate -DgroupId=jam -DartifactId=lib-jam -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false How did you set this http_proxy environment variable? Have you followed this guide for using proxies with Maven? http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-proxies.html Ludovic On 08/02/11 13:33, andr...@an3as.eu wrote: > > Package: maven2 > Version: 2.2.1-5 > Severity: normal > > Hi, > > when I tried mvn the first time when sitting behind a web proxy > (http_proxy environment variable set) I've got: > > > $ mvn -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true archetype:generate -DgroupId=jam > -DartifactId=lib-jam -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart > -DinteractiveMode=false > [INFO] Scanning for projects... > [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'archetype'. > [INFO] org.apache.maven.plugins: checking for updates from central > [WARNING] repository metadata for: 'org.apache.maven.plugins' could not be > retrieved from repository: central due to an error: Error transferring file: > Unexpected end of file from server > [INFO] Repository 'central' will be blacklisted > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [ERROR] BUILD ERROR > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [INFO] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin' does not > exist or no valid version could be found > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [INFO] Total time: < 1 second > [INFO] Finished at: Tue Feb 08 13:26:54 CET 2011 > [INFO] Final Memory: 2M/57M > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > As you see I have -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true set to make sure I do not > replicate #563946.
