Thanks a lot for this info. Took me sometime to find this page.

I'll add the error in my comment so that next time someone searches for the error he gets this page.

Andreas,

Thanks for the post. By the way I noticed that you said to add the extra path to 'project.properties', but with the Confluence source distribution the file to add to is actually 'build.properties'. I'm not sure about JIRA.

This is a minor point but might help clarify the task for someone.

Thanks!!!

Thanks Andreas for the tip, I was affected by that :) and looking in the wrong file.

thanks ....the above tip was helpful ....

Thanks very much!

I have spent also the whole days resolving that problems, but it seems like that my effort is almost meaningless, I'm so disappointed,..., thanks to your great help, I could rebuild the former project finally.

Thank you very much. I used to follow the redirect to http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2 however certain packages have
different trees under maven-2 and under maven-1.

For instance, consider
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven/taglibs/tlds/fmt-1.0.6.tld
The corresponding maven-2 link would be
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/taglibs/fmt/1.0.6/fmt-1.0.6.tld

I have no idea where I can set the maven.repo.remote.

Hi Jay,

You can set this property in the project.properties file for your project. This file is usually located at the same level as your project.xml in your file tree. If you don't have this file, simply create one, and create the property as described in this blog post.

Cheers,
Andreas

http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven seems to have some access difficulties. I found another repository: http://www.astrogrid.org/maven

Hope that helps !

Excellent work. Found my jar. Good man.

By the way, is there a "master index" of Jars. We could do with a search thingie on this.

Steve,

The closest I've seen to something like that is http://mvnrepository.com/.

Cheers,
Andreas

Cheers! This saved me a lot of headaches
