Hello, I am a relatively new user to Maven. I have Java 1.7 and Maven 3.0.3 installed. I am trying to fix two problems: 1. The first and more critical problem is: No matter what command I try to run, mvn starts the download and then it just stalls. The same thing happens when I try creating a project from an archetype. I tried running mvn help:effective-pom to resolve the warning in the snippet below, and that command also hangs just like the others. I have to use Ctrl-C to kill it and retry it again.
It almost seems like it is an internet connectivity problem, but I don't see how it can be, when it can download some jars, but not the remaining ones. 2. I would like to know how I can resolve the warning below. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. Thanks much!! AR -- C:\development\workspace1\project1>dir Volume in drive C has no label.
