Hi Justin, Thanks for the speedy reply. I was trying to avoid the overhead of a repository manager for what's a pretty simple use case (one consuming product, shared filesystem already available) but I will have a go.

What I'd tried first was manually mirroring the org.codehaus.mojo metadata and archives down to my private mirror, similarly without success. (The private mirror worked great for building our aries 0.1 levels, but not for our 0.2 levels.) As with the local repository-copy, everything worked except up until the download of the properties-maven-plugin. I'm not convinced even the repository manager will solve the problem, but I'll try and eliminate my repository management techniques as a cause of the problem before I investigate further. :) Holly Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
