The trunk is under heavy development right now. Your best bet is to grab the 2.1.x branch instead.

I read these pages: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Developing+Maven+2.1 http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-m2-development.html Tried both with m2e and without it (With m2e I had to figure out plugins it depends on (like subclipse). I think it would save some time if these we described on wiki). Same negative result. I am checking out code from this URL: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/components/trunk/ The problem I have is related to dependencies resolution. I attached the file with debug info. Here is the short version: Path to dependency: 1) org.apache.maven:apache-maven:jar:3.0-SNAPSHOT 2) org.sonatype.mercury:mercury-mp3-cli:jar:1.0-alpha-1 3) org.sonatype.mercury:mercury-mp3-delta:jar:1.0-alpha-1 4) org.sonatype.mercury:mercury-mp3-api:jar:1.0-alpha-1 5) org.apache.maven.mercury:mercury-event:jar:1.0.0-alpha-4-SNAPSHOT org.apache.maven.mercury:mercury-event:jar:1.0.0-alpha-4-SNAPSHOT from the specified remote repositories: apache.snapshots (http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository), mycompany-snapshots (http://dev.mycompany.com/artifactory/all-snapshots), Nexus (http://dev.mycompany.com/artifactory/all-releases) I can fix it by going to my local repository and change pom: /org/sonatype/mercury/mercury-mp3-api/1.0-alpha-1/mercury-mp3-api-1.0-alpha-1.pom by adding version: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.maven.mercury</groupId> <artifactId>mercury-event</artifactId> <version>1.0.0-alpha-4</version> </dependency> But this just does not look right. As a result, I am getting apache-maven-3.0-SNAPSHOT. But I was looking for 2.x (2.1?). The question is simple: am I missing something or doing something wrong? I really want to help this project, but I am a little bit surprised by some things like not been able to build it from the trunk. If anyone could advice on how to start helping with maven 2.x (should I submit patches against a tag or branch? should I build it from a tag or branch?) I would really appreciate that. Georgy
