Hi,

I'm new to Maven and try to get my dependencies working and have problems
with the file protocol.
I'm using Windows 2000, SP4.

I have the follwing dependecy:
    <dependency>
      <groupId>servletapi</groupId>
      <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
      <version>2.4-20040521</version>
    </dependency>
I have stored the file under: 
D:\java_dev\maven\lib\servletapi\jars\servlet-api-2.4-20040521.jar

It works fine when I download via the remote repository, but when trying to
load it locally with the file protocol it does not work, even I tried the
file url in my browser.


I tried two things:
1. with <url> (I renamed the Version to 2.4 otherwise it will pick up the
one at http://www.ibiblio.org/maven)
project.xml:
    <dependency>
      <groupId>servletapi</groupId>
      <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
      <version>2.4</version>
      <url>file:///d:/java_dev/maven/lib</url>
    </dependency>

File location:
D:\java_dev\maven\lib\servletapi\jars\servlet-api-2.4.jar
Error message:

I'm sure it's some thing wrong in the syntax, But I could not find any
example, so any hint will help me.
Thanks

Bernhard
