it is possible the remote repositories cannot be reached so a metadata stub is put into your local repository indicating the attributes of the plugin maven is looking for..here is an example <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <metadata> <groupId>com.opensymphony</groupId> <artifactId>xwork</artifactId> <version>2.1.6-SNAPSHOT</version> <versioning> <snapshot> <timestamp>20090909.201054</timestamp> <buildNumber>1</buildNumber> </snapshot> <lastUpdated>20090909201054</lastUpdated> </versioning> </metadata>
personally I always install all necessary plugins to my local-repository and then operate off of my local repository to avoid any guesswork on which repository is online or offline mvn -o $COMMAND can you send us your pom.xml and the exact command syntax with a list of all the repositories you are referencing from $M2_HOME/conf/settings.xml so we can replicate this issue Bon Chance, Martin ______________________________________________ Note de déni et de confidentialité Ce message est confidentiel et peut être privilégié.
