Hello list - I'm struggling a bit with the enclosed error. I see this almost randomly while building in Hudson against our Archiva repository:
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] The skin does not exist: Unable to determine the release version Try downloading the file manually from the project website. Then, install it using the command: mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.maven.skins -DartifactId=maven-default-skin -Dversion=RELEASE -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there: mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.apache.maven.skins -DartifactId=maven-default-skin -Dversion=RELEASE -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id] org.apache.maven.skins:maven-default-skin:jar:RELEASE It only seems to happen if there are a few (unrelated) builds running at the same time - any suggestions?
