I've found the source of my problem.

In my settings.xml I was trying to turn of the use of Apache snapshot repo using

<settings>
<profiles>
<profile>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<properties/>
<repositories>
<repository>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
</snapshots>
<id>apache.snapshots</id>
<url>http://repository.apache.org/snapshots</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
</profile>
</profiles>
</settings>

This actually has the effect of ensuring they are used. It turned out that Maven was looking for the snapshot version of the unneeded default skin. So in .m2-disabled/repository/org/apache/maven/skins$ tree maven-default-skin/ I ended up with the files:

maven-default-skin/
|-- maven-metadata-apache.snapshots.xml
|-- maven-metadata-apache.snapshots.xml.sha1
|-- maven-metadata-central.xml
`-- maven-metadata-central.xml.sha1

However after deactivating the profile (and clearing out that directory in the repo - not sure if that was necessary) I end up with:

maven-default-skin/
|-- 1.0
|   |-- maven-default-skin-1.0.jar
|   `-- maven-default-skin-1.0.jar.sha1
|-- maven-metadata-central.xml
`-- maven-metadata-central.xml.sha1

At which point it builds! If I add the -o flag it also bulds in a few minutes, whereas without it took 20-30.

Now I can start looking at the documentation!

Regards
Rob

Has anybody else has problems building the site/documentation as per Dan's instructions. I'm getting a peculiar Maven error, see below, even though it has just downloaded the site artifact it is talking about.

Many mentions of it online where the problems typically is a missing definition in site.xml. However in the root site.xml (trunk/src/site/site.xml) there is our own skin defined (which I have install per instructions).

Dan, I am assuming that you did not have this problem - although you obviously did not do a new build as you where working on it. Anybody built it or not?

Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

Then, install it using the command:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.maven.skins -DartifactId=maven-default-skin -Dversion=RELEASE -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there: mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.apache.maven.skins -DartifactId=maven-default-skin -Dversion=RELEASE -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]


  org.apache.maven.skins:maven-default-skin:jar:RELEASE
