Found the problem, but the solution was so weird that I would like to get some explanations as to why this happens, or what is the idea behind this?
It seems that when uploading the pom from SVN, continuum uses a http GET, but fetches credentials from its users (the userid running continuum, in our case root) .m2/settings.xml. It uses the credentials it finds there for a servername identical to the server in the poms URL. These were just some old wrong credentials at our place, so the fetching of the POM failed. Changing to a correct subversion user made it all work. Incredible, or .......

Please verify that the correct username and password are provided I have tried to specify user/password for several users that definitely have access to the Subversion repository, but it doesn't work. In the log I see that continuum states the following : 2009-10-08 13:47:22,846 [addMavenTwoProjectBackgroundThread] ERROR continuumProjectBuilder#maven-two-builder - Error ad ding project: Unauthorized http://z1416ge:*****[email protected]/repos/java/customer/scs/customer/admin/trunk/pom.xml (Password in clear text, but obscured in this mail) I tried to use the command wget to get the specified URL, and that works fine. Any ideas of what is happening here, somehow continuum doesn't get authorized in the SVN repos? Geir
