Hi, I have installed Maven2 in a virtual machine Linux redhat , it seems ok : [rym@localhost ~]$ mvn -version Apache Maven 2.2.1 (r801777; 2009-08-06 15:16:01-0400) Java version: 1.6.0_24 Java home: /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_24/jre Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "linux" version: "2.6.18-194.el5" arch: "i386" Family: "unix"
BUT when I use the cmd : archetype:generate the result is : [rym@localhost ~]$ mvn archetype:generate [INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'archetype'. [INFO] org.apache.maven.plugins: checking for updates from central [WARNING] repository metadata for: 'org.apache.maven.plugins' could not be retrieved from repository: central due to an error: Error transferring file: repo1.maven.org [INFO] Repository 'central' will be blacklisted [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 1 second [INFO] Finished at: Thu Apr 28 08:57:59 EDT 2011 [INFO] Final Memory: 1M/15M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Also I can't find the file setting.xml in the directory .m2 , .m2 is empty!!!!!
