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.

Re: Beginning Maven
Your simple domestic firewall (or something else in your PC) is preventing your connection to the "central" repo. We have had several Windows users give strange reports like yours due to firewalls and antivirus software. Turn off/disable ALL of that stuff for now, and try again. Also, use mvn -X -U ... which will 1) turn on debug mode and 2) force updates of plugins. Wayne On 7/20/07, Robin Rigby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks Dennis 1. Internet connection is good. 2.

Re: Beginning Maven
The problem is that Maven is unable to download the artifact-plugin for you. [INFO] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found The most common reasons for this message are (in no particular order): - You don't have a connection to the internet + Solution: connect to the internet - The meta-data for the plugin in question has been corrupted in your local repository + Solution: Remove the entire directory for that plugin in your local repository - You are behind a proxy or firewall that prevents Maven from accessing the central repository + Solution: configure Maven to handle this, see http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-proxies.html If none of the about helps you, please run Maven like this to give us more to go on. It will enable debug mode. Please post the results here. mvn -X archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app Robin Rigby wrote: Starting again.
