I get this error if the central repository is not available when running the site command. In our environment, we use Artifactory with the mirrors setting. We have also disabled the central repository that is defined in the super pom. This prevents our builds from ever needing to go to the Internet for anything. Everything goes through Artifactory. For some reason I don't understand if you disable Central, this error occurs when running the maven site command.
It's documented here: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3139 -----Original Message----- From: Ole Laurisch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 17, 2008 8:59 AM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: Build error at site-plugin => The skin does not exist Hi, I get this error today while making a build with the site plugin. Some Google search leads me to similar problems where it is said that a possible solution (or workaround) would be to add a site directory with a site.xml specifying the skin version. The thing is, that I don't have any site plugin customization. The site goal worked perfectly well for weeks and our pom.xml is unchanged since October 9th. Do you habe any idea what the cause of the problem is and how I can handle it? Thanks in advance, Ole Maven trace: [INFO] [site:site] [WARNING] No URL defined for the project - decoration links will not be resolved [INFO] artifact org.apache.maven.skins:maven-default-skin: checking for updates from central [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] The skin does not exist: Unable to determine the release version Try downloading the file manually from the project website.
