I just upgraded to Maven3 from Maven2 today, and when I run "mvn.bat -version", this is what I see:
Apache Maven 2.2.1 (r801777; 2009-08-06 13:16:01-0600) Java version: 1.6.0_23 Java home: C:\Java\jdk6 Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252 OS name: "windows xp" version: "5.1" arch: "x86" Family: "windows" I don't think it's my path, because I am in the bin directory of the maven 3 installation, and I have completed deleted my maven 2 directory. In addition, when I try to use the new maven installation to do a "mvn clean compile", I get the following error: FATAL ERROR: Unable to read settings.xml For more information, run with the -e flag Running a "mvn -e clean compile" gets me the following output: + Error stacktraces are turned on. FATAL ERROR: Unable to read settings.xml Error stacktrace: org.codehaus.plexus.component.repository.exception.ComponentLookupException: Component descriptor cannot be found in the component repository: org.apache.maven.settings.MavenSe ttingsBuilder. at org.codehaus.plexus.DefaultPlexusContainer.lookup(DefaultPlexusContainer.java:323) at org.codehaus.plexus.embed.Embedder.lookup(Embedder.java:78) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli.buildSettings(MavenCli.java:402) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli.main(MavenCli.java:202) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli.main(MavenCli.java:100) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.launchStandard(Launcher.java:329) at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.launch(Launcher.java:239) at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.mainWithExitCode(Launcher.java:409) at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:352) Why does my maven3 installation claim that it's version 2.2.1? And what can I do to address the problem with reading settings.xml? - André
