2007-07-31 Thread Ian Dunlop
Hello, I am trying to use Maven (2.0.7) to build an application on an Intel Mac (OSX 10.4.10). It keeps failing with 'cannot find symbol' related to a Junit class. The app builds perfectly on Linux. Building with the -Dmaven.test.skip=true flag on the Mac is successful. I have

You might want to check the junit 4.0 jar itself to make sure there isn't some weird problem in the archive. I know some people have had weird problems when they were using a mis-configured mirror, resulting in some .jar and .pom files being HTML 404 error text rather than the proper content. So
