Hi Martin, Maven has no install procedure.. It is just the exploded archive.
When you run maven for the first time, it create a ".m2" directory in your user home dir. This directory contains a local repository (as soon as you have downloaded dependencies). You can create a settings.xml file in that directory and play with maven's settings. Deleting this directory will create a fresh "install" of maven.. To answer to your question: if you are using a proxy, make sure that it is defined in the settings.xml file. Cheers Jo On 5/12/07, Martin Ravell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Can anyone help me resolve this problem? It is a freshly unzipped copy of 2.0.6 with an empty repository. Any idea why it cannot find the archetype plugin? Is there a way of completely removing and re-installing maven?
