My post didn't go through to the other group, and one issue is with the official starting with lift guide on the lift site anyway.
In the lift book under section 1.3 -DarchetypeVersion=0.9 \ can be changed to 1.0 I ran the command from the book and maven downloaded scala 2.7.1 for some reason. I eventually deleted the helloword folder, my <home>/.m2 folder and started all over and scala 2.7.3 was finally downloaded correctly. Another issue is extra spaces after the backslash (\) at the end of lines. I copied the maven command from section 2.2 in the 'starting with lift' guide: http://liftweb.net/docs/getting_started/mod_master.html and maven barfed this out. It was because of the extra spaces at the ends of lines. Apparently only the HTML version of the book had the extra spaces, not the pdf. java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 at java.lang.AbstractStringBuilder.setLength(AbstractStringBuilder.java: 143) at java.lang.StringBuffer.setLength(StringBuffer.java:153) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli$CLIManager.cleanArgs(MavenCli.java: 824) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli$CLIManager.parse(MavenCli.java:777) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli.main(MavenCli.java:103) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke (NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke (DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher.launchEnhanced(Launcher.java: 315) at org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher.launch(Launcher.java:255) at org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher.mainWithExitCode(Launcher.java: 430) at org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:375) ./newmaven.sh: line 3: -DarchetypeGroupId=net.liftweb: command not found ./newmaven.sh: line 4: -DarchetypeArtifactId=lift-archetype-basic: command not found ./newmaven.sh: line 5: -DarchetypeVersion=1.0: command not found ./newmaven.sh: line 6: -DremoteRepositories=http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases: No such file or directory ./newmaven.sh: line 7: -DgroupId=com.liftworkshop: command not found ./newmaven.sh: line 8: -DartifactId=todo: command not found ./newmaven.sh: line 9: -Dversion=0.1-SNAPSHOT: command not found java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 at java.lang.AbstractStringBuilder.setLength(AbstractStringBuilder.java: 143) at java.lang.StringBuffer.setLength(StringBuffer.java:153) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli$CLIManager.cleanArgs(MavenCli.java: 824) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli$CLIManager.parse(MavenCli.java:777) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli.main(MavenCli.java:103) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke (NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke (DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher.launchEnhanced(Launcher.java: 315) at org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher.launch(Launcher.java:255) at org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher.mainWithExitCode(Launcher.java: 430) at org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:375) ./newmaven.sh: line 3: -DarchetypeGroupId=net.liftweb: command not found ./newmaven.sh: line 4: -DarchetypeArtifactId=lift-archetype-basic: command not found ./newmaven.sh: line 5: -DarchetypeVersion=1.0: command not found ./newmaven.sh: line 6: -DremoteRepositories=http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases: No such file or directory ./newmaven.sh: line 7: -DgroupId=com.liftworkshop: command not found ./newmaven.sh: line 8: -DartifactId=todo: command not found ./newmaven.sh: line 9: -Dversion=0.1-SNAPSHOT: command not found --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
