Hi Darryl, In future, please send emails to the user list rather than this one (see the jelly home page for mailing list details): http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/jelly/ ie please don't reply to this; if you have any further questions start an email on the user list. When posting to that list, please put the commons component in the subject line, eg [jelly] need help building from source
Jelly doesn't support maven 2.x yet (pom.xml file), just maven 1.x (project.xml). And the command you want is: maven package or maven install not maven jar Regards, Simon On Wed, 2006-11-15 at 15:16 -0800, Darryl Fenwick wrote: > > I'm writing to the "nag" e-mail address with the (perhaps vain) hope > that someone can help me.
