Hej! Building of 3.0 "will-be-release" version did not work automatically when I tried it first (last thursday); I got BUILD ERRORs due to undownloadable files. For a successful build, I had to do over two dozen manual searches -- far too many for an official distro IMHO. Wasn't the first time. Some days ago others reported similar issues (e.g. subject "error building servicemix 3.0") so it happens not only here in Sweden (maybe due to longer delays, too many hops for the TTL,...) but elsewhere as well.
As an example: Maven was looking for maven-plugin-parent-2.1.pom (and the JARs) but was unable to find it on the 4 mirrors it tried to download from. The mirrors did not even have a 2.1 directory (!), thus for sure no v2.1 files, what leads me to this assumtion: Whoever was commiting these build instructions obviously had all the missing things locally available (maybe as he/she already build another project with same dependencies) and thus did not stumble over those problems. ==> Possible solution 1: For releases, the commiter's local Maven repository has to be renamed temporary thus Maven has to download everything and reports all problems. What I do not really understand, as I am just a Maven beginner and no expert: The official maven repro (repro1.maven.org) had most of the missing stuff (finding of my manual search) BUT was _not even tried_ for the failed things! It seems like the ServiceMix pom (or whatever) is kind of limiting the mirrors tried for the things that did NOT work -- the other mirrors (all that are mentioned at http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-mirror-settings.html are in my settings.xml) are used for all downloads but the failed ones. ==> Possible solution 2: In case this limiting really applies, broaden the list of mirrors. ==> Possible solution 3: In case it has some other reasons, explicitly include at least the official maven repro -- would heal not all but most of the bothering problems I experienced. Attached you find a screenshot of one issue. I think these two lines are pretty strange as they do not fit together: Downloading: http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/maven2/org/apache/xbean/xbean-server/2.6/xbean-server-2.6.pom [WARNING] Unable to get resource from repository central (http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2) BTW: I will put some detailed hints on how to solve Maven problems in the user's guide, maybe as links to the maven site.
