Hi Alec, No, its not a storm issue. Can you provide some extra context? Run: mvn -version
Also, it says it cannot create the folder: /Users/sali/.m2/repository/ org/apache/maven/plugin-tools/maven-plugin-annotations/3.0 So, try to do it manually (as a sanity check): mkdir -p /Users/sali/.m2/repository/org/apache/maven/plugin-tools/maven-plugin-annotations/3.0 For more clue: mvn clean install -X -debug Hope this helps. *Toni Menzel | rebaze GmbH* toni.men...@rebaze.com | +49 171 65 202 84 http:// <https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/goog_1770677242>www.rebaze.com | twitter @rebazeio <https://twitter.com/rebazeio> | LinkedIn Profile <http://www.linkedin.com/company/2553599> On Fri, Jun 20, 2014 at 8:13 PM, Sa Li <sa.in.v...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear all > > I tried to build storm related project on mac, it ends up building error > that I never got on ubuntu.
