It will be ignored for artifact resolution. Reason: Parse error reading POM. Reason: only whitespace content allowed before start tag and not \ud4 (position: START_DOCUMENT seen \ud4... @1:1) This is the "byte order mark" kiss of death that apparently affects only OSX builds, and is usually generated by editing UTF8 files with Notepad on Windows. Please, get a better editor, for Windows both Notepad++ and Notepad2 work better and do not have this BOM issue (Notepad2 can also act as a drop in replacement for Notepad if you want). Anyways, I've fixed the two pom files affected (referencing and metadata) at revision 32631 Cheers Andrea -- Andrea Aime OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Expert service straight from the developers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Geotools-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geotools-devel
