Hi, I'm using maven-ear-plugin 2.5-SNAPSHOT, and for the past week or so, we've had problems downloading it from Maven, output is this:
Downloading: http://mavenrepo.pd.tracetracker.com:9998/repo/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-ear-plugin/2.5-SNAPSHOT/maven-ear-plugin-2.5-20110111.075142-136.pom 7K downloaded Downloading: http://mavenrepo.pd.tracetracker.com:9998/repo/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-ear-plugin/2.5-SNAPSHOT/maven-ear-plugin-2.5-20110111.075142-136.jar [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Failed to resolve artifact. GroupId: org.apache.maven.plugins ArtifactId: maven-ear-plugin Version: 2.5-20110111.075142-136 Reason: Unable to locate resource in repository Try downloading the file manually from the project website. Then, install it using the command: mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.maven.plugins -DartifactId=maven-ear-plugin -Dversion=2.5-20110111.075142-136 -Dpackaging=maven-plugin -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.plugins -DartifactId=maven-ear-plugin -Dversion=2.5-20110111.075142-136 -Dpackaging=maven-plugin -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id] org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-ear-plugin:maven-plugin:2.5-20110111.075142-136 from the specified remote repositories: marplemirror (http://mavenrepo.pd.tracetracker.com:9998/repo) We have artifactory which cache all external dependencies for us, and it seems that sometimes when we delete maven-ear-plugin 2.5-SNAPSHOT from our repo it works, but then a few days later it stops working again. Is this a problem with the metadata for this plugin, or something else? Another question: When will you release a stable version (2.5) of the maven-ear-plugin? I assume that would also help preventing this from happening in the first place. Best regards, Viggo Navarsete
