Hello, everybody using mirror http://apache.cs.uu.nl/ in his maven build.properties should be aware of downloading wrong jars. There seem to be strange rewrite rules configured, which rewrites you a couple of times when you want to download certain jakarta jars, and then just downloads http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/index.html. You end up with hard to solve problems because of nonsense jars just containing an html page.
For example: http://apache.cs.uu.nl/dist/jakarta/jakarta-slide http://apache.cs.uu.nl/dist/jakarta/jakarta-bcel http://apache.cs.uu.nl/dist/jakarta/jakarta-bsf I did not test further, but it seems that jakarta projects, from which the jars are not present in apache.cs.uu.nl, are redirected, instead of returning a 404. If you for example have the dependency <dependency> <id>jakarta-slide:slide-stores</id> <version>a-random-version-here</version> </dependency> and you have the mirror http://apache.cs.uu.nl/, it will downlad "the" jar because you are redirected. I told everybody with whom I am developing to directly remove this mirror. Regards Ard Ps: How can we inform the right people that this flaw gets fixed? If you can't rely on mirrors to return the right jars, we really end up in unmanageable situations. -- Hippo Oosteinde 11 1017WT Amsterdam The Netherlands Tel +31 (0)20 5224466 ------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] / http://www.hippo.nl --------------------------------------------------------------
