I don't know why you see a dependency to maven-jar-plugin 2.3-SNAPSHOT. You can specify in your pom.xml that you would like to use 2.2
<dependencey> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.2</version> </dependencey> Note that the log u included is not any error, it is just looking for a new snapshot. You can speed up the build if you have already downloaded the dependencies, use -o -npu mvn -o -npu generate-sources /Patrik greatfooty wrote: > > > > My latest problem is that just yesterday a new version of maven-jar-plugin > seems to be required and the fornax repos and the maven central repo don't > seem to have the required artefact.
