You can specify that your jars are not in the repository using a 'jar override' feature. See the user's guide, http://maven.apache.org/reference/user-guide.html#Overriding%20Stated%20Dependencies , for more information. The users guide gives an example of how you can use the jar override to point to jars 'in CVS', in that case, in ${basedir}/lib. > Re: task appearance > Odd, that.

Even Maven does not force people to use or lock down a set of dependencies. What ever you can get into the local repo can be used to build.

BTW, the bootstrap process is built in Ant for the most part. I suppose we could update the bootstrap exec to failonerror. -- dIon Gillard, Multitask Consulting Blog: http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/dion/ Pub Key:http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/dion/public-key.asc --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
