Thanks for response. I tried to run 'mvn archetype:create' from elsewhere but had the same result.
And yes, the eviart/pom.xml has many <project> elements in it, mine has six <project> elements...

Please don't re-post the same question. Sometimes it will take more than a day for someone to have time to respond, especially on the weekend. I see the same thing. After this happens, look at eviart/pom.xml. Mine seems to have three <project> elements in it. There may be something wrong with the portlet archetype in the repository. I haven't yet had time to investigate, which is why I had not yet answered. (This is not the cause of your problem, but I'd suggest running 'mvn archetype:create' from a directory other than where you've installed Maven.) -- Wendy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
