I'm seeing maven2 build failures because of the timeouts at central 

    Caused by: org.apache.maven.doxia.tools.SiteToolException: 
ArtifactNotFoundException: The skin does not exist: Unable to determine the 
release version
    Try downloading the file manually from the project website.
    Then, install it using the command:
    mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.maven.skins 
-DartifactId=maven-default-skin -Dversion=RELEASE -Dpackaging=jar 
-Dfile=/path/to/file
    Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file 
there:
    mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.apache.maven.skins 
-DartifactId=maven-default-skin -Dversion=RELEASE -Dpackaging=jar 
-Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]
    org.apache.maven.skins:maven-default-skin:jar:RELEASE

We have multiple Maven 2 builds and run Artifactory for a repo cache.
I've downloaded maven-default-skin-1.0 to our repo cache so it will be resolved 
there,
but we still get the errors. Perhaps something is trying to reference a 
snapshot skin,
but I don't know where it is coming from.

I've read what I can find; it seems I need to specify the skin in a site.xml 
but 
I don't want to duplicate that in more than a dozen projects - I want to 
inherit it from a parent pom
that they all use.
The on-line Maven book discusses creating a skin or configuring a skin, but I 
can find no doc on
how to configure the skin site.xml via the parent pom or otherwise configure so 
that all projects pick
up the same skin - maven-default-skin 1.0.

Alternatively, is there is a fixed plug-in dependency that I can add to the 
parent pom
so that it uses the 1.0 skin. We already have

                        <plugin>
                                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                                <artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
                                <version>2.1.1</version>
                        </plugin>

in the parent pom and we still get the above error sometimes.

thanks
