RE: Beginning Maven
Personal Firewall (Norton Internet Security) Just that. I have not yet worked out why it allows: 1. Firefox and IE to access the problem files but not Maven or wget. 2. Wget to access everything normally except these few files.

Ok. Thanks for all your time and effort.

Are you running Trend Micro Antivirus which seems to block java.exe? Or a McAfee/Norton/WinXP firewall which is blocking java.exe from connecting to the Internet? If you're running any of those things, make sure you go into the settings and either grant Internet access to java.exe, or change so it prompts you when a program wants to access the Internet rather than auto-denying, etc. Unfortunately, this is probably one of those problems where we really can't help you. You've done everything right, and yet you still can't connect. Do you have a Linux or Mac box available you could try, or perhaps a Linux livecd you could boot into and try wget from there?

No proxy. I am working at home. I have a firewall built into the wireless modem ... I looked through 'Configuring Maven' and 'Configuring a HTTP Proxy'. Maven has successfully written a number of files to C:\Documents and Settings\username\.m2\repository\. Does Maven expect calls over the internet from a remote server into this machine?

may not be this project's POM [ from cocoon-users ]
Hi Started this thread on the cocoon-users mailing list ... Project uses Cocoon 2.1, which is not based on Maven. Need updated file from the current Cocoon snapshot, so yesterday downloaded Cocoon 2.2, discovered it requires Maven, downloaded Maven 2.07. Documents indicate it should all compile out of the box but instead: Error building POM (may not be this project's POM). (complete error report below). Tried to download the missing POM with wget and get ERROR 403: Forbidden. (error report also below). Curiously, can read this file with both IE and Firefox. Not forbidden. Advice from cocoon-users is to seek help here with access to this file or, failing that, with configuring a local copy. Also suggested establish whether Maven can download any other files but, as the newest newbie, would need guidance even for that.
