--------------------------------------------------------------------- View the issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVEN-1351 Here is an overview of the issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: MAVEN-1351 Summary: maven prints exception but no useful information if maven.home.local is set to a directory that does not exist Type: Bug Status: Unassigned Priority: Major Original Estimate: Unknown Time Spent: Unknown Remaining: Unknown Project: maven Versions: 1.0-rc4 Assignee: Reporter: Patrick Moore Created: Tue, 29 Jun 2004 6:47 PM Updated: Tue, 29 Jun 2004 6:47 PM Environment: Debian Linux (sarge release -- sorry if this isn't enough; I really don't know about linux versions) JDK 1.4.2_02 Description: In my ~/build.properties file I had an old directory set: maven.home.local=/usr/local/maven-1.0-rc1 A simple enough error, but as can be seen the resulting error is incredibly useless. Since this is the type of error that a beginner would encounter, quickly frustrate and convince them not to use maven, I marked it as major. I should also add that 'maven --info' also has this same problem - which also adds to the frustration. The error message: ~/projects/rbook$ maven -X __ __ | \/ |__ _Apache__ ___ | |\/| / _` \ V / -_) ' \ ~ intelligent projects ~ |_| |_\__,_|\_/\___|_||_| v. 1.0-rc4 Initializing Plugins!
