You're repository is messed up... there's no pom there and xdoclet is the wrong groupId. Did you just drop a jar in there - I hope not - manually playing with your local repository is a sure way of getting screwed up.
Also, don't use SNAPSHOT if you can help it... just use the one in the public repo. Note: SNAPSHOTs use a completely different repository than releases: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/codehaus/mojo/xdoclet-maven-plugin/1.0-alpha-2/ <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>xdoclet-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0-alpha-2</version> ... blah blah blah... And the hibernate plugin version is at 1.0.3 http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/xdoclet-plugins/xdoclet-plugin-hibernate/ Again, don't use SNAPSHOT if you can help it. Eric On 4/6/07, Peter L.
