Hello, according to the mailing list, there are some troubles with the surefire 2.4 plugin. However, there is still more problems: the 'dummy' artifact seems to rely on this version of surefire anyhow, which makes the whole maven building process abort.
Does anyone knows whether: - this is easy to patch by hand - or the surefire 2.4 version will soon be available - or some stable version of surefire 2.4 is available somewhere for manual install - or can someone releave the dependency to the faulty plugin and make that the 'dummy' artifact does not prevent maven from building project ? thanks. Following are the trace of the error I get, best regards, Pierre [INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.
