just do "mvn install:install-file -DgeneratePom=true ..." once to get rid of this warning ([1] for more info) AFAIK spring is currently in the process of converting to maven, they probably decided not to release poms until it's fully tested instead of providing faulty ones. The maven repository guys should've generated a default pom though, especially for such a high profile library. Jorg [1] http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-installing-3rd-party-jars.html
