Please don't misunderstand me. I am not complaining, I just want to share this 
as useful feedback for the folks that distribute Torque (a tool I use and like 
a lot).
 
I had too many problems with the maven build. It retrieved a lot of jars by 
itself, but some others it couldn't find. 
 
Of those it couldn't find, some I found manually, some I wasn't able to find.
 
Anyway, I didn't know where to put the ones I found. Putting them in the 
classpath didn't help, and maven wouldn't say where it was searching.
 
I finally quit in frustration. I just wanted to use a more up to date torque, 
not to become an expert in maven.
 
I could Read The Fine Material available for Maven - if it was accessible and 
clear.
Unfortunately, there wasn't an integrated search for Maven docs. and I spent 
time trying to figure out where Maven's repository was without success.
 
Since it also was inconvenient to learn a new build tool, unsupported by my 
environment, I decided to call it off and make do without a newer Torque 
release. After all, what I wanted to do was developing an app., not use Maven!
 
I know this won't help you Anthony, but I also thought it would be good for the 
guys that work developing Torque how some decisions impact users like me.
 

Best regards to everyone,
 
Álvaro Coronel.

I am upgrading from an old version of Torque to the
latest stable release. So I've always used ANT to
build my object model. I installed maven and
downloaded the maven torque plugin per the
documentation. However, when I execute 'maven torque'
I get the following error:

BUILD FAILED
File...... C:\Documents and
Settings\tspencer\.maven\cache\maven-torque-plugin-3
.1.1\plugin.jelly
Element... taskdef
Line...... 87
Column.... -1
taskdef A class needed by class
org.apache.torque.task.TorqueJDBCTransformTask c
annot be found: org/apache/xerces/dom/CoreDocumentImpl

I have all the Torque dependencies in my classpath
including xercesImpl-2.4.0.jar.

Running:
JDK 1.4.2
Torque 3.1.1

Any help GREATLY appreciated.
