Hey, I'm a total Maven n00b, and I'm trying to add Avro's latest release as a dependency for HBase as part of HBASE-2400. I've opened up the top-level pom.xml, added the <dependency> information for Avro, and tried to run mvn -DskipTests install. The compilation fails, since some of my new files use Avro classes, and for some reason the Avro jar is not downloaded (it does not show up in ~/.m2/repository/...).
You can see the precise change I made to pom.xml at http://github.com/hammer/hbase-trunk-with-avro/commit/92c0e08b52cc9b41f28d26cb571ac1511f457c76#diff-9 . Could anyone with more Maven knowledge help me debug this build issue, or at least give me some pointers on where to look? Thanks, Jeff
