Dear friends, Thanks you for your help. The mystery is finally solved thanks to some offline help from another colleague.
I had a copy paste error in my declaration for the repository. I had set <enabled>false<enabled> for releases. as shown below: <repository> <id>freebXML Registry Repository</id> <url>http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/maven2/repository/</url> <snapshots> </snapshots> <releases> <enabled>false</enabled> </releases> </repository> Changing it to true fixed my vexing problem. IMHO, this is definitely an FAQ candidate item. Thanks again for all your terrific help. This is a great community to be part of. -- Regards, Farrukh Web: http://www.wellfleetsoftware.com Thorsten Heit wrote: > Hi, > > >> Where should the settings.xml file be and what should it have it it? >> > > That file is contained in your user home directory under the subdirectory > ~/.m2/, the same directory that holds the local repository cache.
