I ran into the same thing. Here is the solution (this being said, I got around the problem with not being able to download the snapshot and got into a situation where I can't build anything at all because of some problem. I do not know how it is related to this change, it may be 100% unrelated)
This solution came from the community with some modifications based on the DTD like thing: http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd <pluginRepositories> <pluginRepository> <id>snapshots-plugins</id> <name>Maven Snapshot Plugins Development Repository</name> <url>http://snapshots.maven.codehaus.org/maven2/plugins</url> <snapshotPolicy>always</snapshotPolicy </pluginRepository> </pluginRepositories> By defining the plugin repository and allowing snapshots to be downloaded, you will get passed the 'Unable to download' as that means, I can find the snapshot, but am not permitted due to a policy issue (in this case) to obtain it. Good luck, hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Glick Sent: Monday, August 29, 2005 3:14 AM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: [M2] Problem building repoclean I've been having difficulty building repoclean for a number of days, and I get the same error message every time: [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - [INFO] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - [INFO] Main Error: Unable to download the artifact from any repository org.apache.maven:maven-model:2.0-beta-1-20050721.102753-1:jar from the specified remote repositories: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2, http://snapshots.maven.codehaus.org/maven2/ Path to dependency: 1) org.apache.maven:repoclean:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT 2) org.apache.maven:maven-model:jar:all:2.0-beta-1-SNAPSHOT --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
