Let me just say that maven rules, and I suck. Turns out that maven WAS picking up the ~/build.properties file, but the maven.repo.remote property was wrong. I had ONE TINY EXTRA SPACE at the end of the property, and this hosed my connection. It wasn't until I looked at the url maven was trying to download that I figured it out.
While on this topic, I think I might have a suggestion for the messages displayed when downloading from the remote repository. 1. attempt to grab all dependencies from one repository at a time. I think the current display is confusing since it goes through all remote sites for each dependency. Here's an example of the output: attempting to download resources from http://a.b.com/maven xxx-1.1.jar - resource not found. yyy-2.3.jar - ........................................ attempting to download resoures from http://c.d.com/maven xxx-1.1.jar - ................................ yyy-2.3.jar - resource not found. 2. reduce verbosity of error messages. It's extremely confusing for users to see this error message for one site, when it succeeds for the other. Error retrieving artifact from [http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/net.sourceforge.xdoclet/jars/xjavadoc-1.0.jar] : java.lang.Exception: Can't get xjavadoc-1.0.jar to C:\Documents and Settings\RyanS\.maven\repository\net.sourceforge.xdoclet\jars\x javadoc-1.0.jar I think it should simply display - resource not found.
