Dan, I also had a problem using maven2 to run the EJB3/JBoss microcontainer tests for the example from my book. It got this error:
Caused by: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: and at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:567) at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:464) at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:413) A quick google found this: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/geronimo-dev/200512.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] It suggests that the problem is caused by the path to the repository being under "Documents and Settings", which has a space :-( After specifying a different location for the local repository, which didn't have spaces in the path, the problem went away and tests passed.
