ok .. it seems that maven is downloading stuff - i deleted .m2 and the next time i ran mvn it downloaded the maven-metadata-central.xml file
It still doesn't work though :-( ----- Original Message ---- From: Toby Hobson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Maven Users List <users@maven.apache.org> Sent: Tuesday, 20 November, 2007 9:43:07 PM Subject: Re: Artifact problem on vista Sorry ... I mean that the JDK executable is able to pass through the vista firewall, I'll try disabling AVG etc. ----- Original Message ---- From: Wayne Fay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Maven Users List <users@maven.apache.org> Sent: Tuesday, 20 November, 2007 9:39:46 PM Subject: Re: Artifact problem on vista "the eclipse update works ok" -- what (exactly) do you mean? How does Eclipse working == "no firewall problems"? In addition to the Vista firewall, what antivirus software are you running? A few people have posted here very frustrated by things only to discover that McAfee or something similar was the root of their troubles. Disable *all* such software and try again. Also, try running with -U to force an update of artifacts from repos. The final step is to rename the ~/.m2 directory to ~/.m2x (or simply delete ~/.m2) and try again from scratch.
