Is there a definition someplace of what constitutes a valid repository? I would like the definition both for local repositories and for remote repositories. I've read and searched BBwM; read the docs in the "Maven Getting Started Guide" on the Maven web site, as well as other docs on that site. I've google searched for documentation. The best I've found is one that I can't seem to find again. It was an early spec for what M2 repository data should look like, very good as far as it went, but not complete. I need the formation rules and the semantics.
I'm trying to create a file:// repository. I've tried a variety of approaches trying to be clever and only populate it with what our build needs. Then I tried brute force, simply copying over the contents of a maven proxy repository here into the location where I want the file repository. In any case, a build does not get far before getting the message "The plugin 'org.apache.maven.pluging:maven-clean-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found". The odd thing is, it does get part way into the build, finding and selecting versions for runtime. However, I think the jars and versions being selected are actually the ones in $M2_HOME/lib. I did run cp -r -p to preserve permissions and dates and stuff, but I did not do a tar or cpio copy. Can anyone help? thanks, --Marilyn Sander --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
