The general assumption on this list is that very few new users have read the BBwM book... so you (Javier) are certainly the rare case!
(And EJ, I agree that M2 needs better docs "in general", but I disagree that its unfair to suggest that users read the PDF. A non-trivial ratio of the questions posted on this mailing list are answered in the PDF, and it serves as a great "getting started with M2" document. But that's offtopic, so feel free to start a new thread to talk about the documentation...) As for your original email, to be perfectly honest, I didn't and still don't understand what you are asking for exactly... Perhaps a review of the classic "How to ask questions" by ESR is in order? "When I tried to get an ant build" -- Are you trying to use the maven-antrun-plugin? Or are you trying to use Maven inside of Ant via the Maven Antlib plugin? Or something else entirely? "generated build file ignored my local repository and put a lot of lines trying to download jar and install them in my profile folder" -- Maven automatically checks for updates to dependencies and plugins when it runs. So just because Maven is grabbing new files, it does not mean that it is ignoring your local repo, and it does not mean that anything is wrong. "I wonder why maven did it and how could I fix it ?" -- What specifically did Maven do, and why do you think it is something that needs fixing? As a new user, you may be seeing some unexpected functionality and interpreting it as wrong/invalid/needing to be fixed, when in reality it is simply how Maven works. You will need to provide much more detail in your email and ask more specific questions to be successful on this mailing list... IMO. Wayne On 10/4/06, Javier Leyba <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I've read Better Builds With Maven PDF (and I configured my proxies reading it) and I found this book is to much oriented to make a simple config as an introductory tutorial but it didn't solve my posted problem (it didn't worked as I expected).
