Hi Folks, The list archives return hundreds or thousands of not very relevant results when I search them, so this may have been answered, but I can't find it. In any case, I'm also somewhat new to maven so I'm possibly asking silly questions for that reason too. In either case I apologize in advance...
I've got a project, that is derived from another project that was set up with maven (else, I'd probably still be using ant). In our company, our policies make it very important that I know exactly what is going into the project, so I can't just let maven go slurping things up from anywhere it feels like on the web. To this end, I'm testing out the free version of artifactory, which looks like a nice solution to that problem. I've managed to get my maven pointed at artifactory, and wiped out my local repository. I also deleted artifactory's references to the outside world. Now my builds complain that I can't find stuff, and the messages are clearly looking at my artifactory. Perfect so far. However, as pleased as I am to have broken my build, now I need to get it going again :-). My first challenge seems to be getting the basic maven plugins into the repository. I can't seem to find a place to download something that I can upload directly to artifactory, so I tried to start with the first plugin that was failing, and build that and see if mvn deploy would deploy it to artifactory. (First, question... is that a reasonable idea?) Unfortunately, as soon as I did svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/plugins/tags/maven-clean-plugin-2. 4.1 maven-clean-plugin cd maven-clean-plugin mvn deploy I got [INFO] Scanning for projects...

What is the best way to get fresh clean maven plugins for installation into a repository manager without allowing it to just go download whatever it wants from the web? -Gus This e-mail and any attachments are intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
