That is cool - yes there could be something wrong with the website. Let us look at the pom.xml file provided: > <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; > xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; > xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 > http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";> > <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> > <groupId>org.geotools.demo.example</groupId> > <artifactId>geotools-example</artifactId> > <packaging>jar</packaging> > <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> > <name>geotools-example</name> > <url>http://maven.apache.org</url> > <dependencies> > <dependency> > <groupId>junit</groupId> > <artifactId>junit</artifactId> > <version>3.8.1</version> > <scope>test</scope> > </dependency> > </dependencies> > </project> I do not see a "version" anywhere in that ... but wait it was generated by the following line:
C:java>mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=org.geotools.demo.example -DartifactId=geotools-example So I am hard pressed to see what could be the matter ... I will try it out here. Jody PS. What do you think of me combining these two pages down into one (longer) page? Would that be a good idea?
