Hello Maven Folks, We are having a problem with a TIKA build which boils down to missing plexus 1.0.8. The TIKA developers felt this might be more of a Maven issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the post originally set to the TIKA developer mailing list.
My team has been having some problems installing TIKA on CentOS in support of a Apache Solr/Durpal project. Here are the facts as layout to me by a colleague: In theory, a Tika install simply requires us to run "mvn install" (a Maven install). In practice, it fails. When installing it tries to Download http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/codehaus/plexus/plexus/1.0.8/plexus-1.0.8.pom. That .pom file exists (I can view it in Firefox), but that's just a summary file with information on where to *actually* get the code. It says it's "Downloading" but it never manages to complete and say it's "Downloaded". I think this is it having trouble *getting* the actual 1.0.8 code. Although it's not *exactly* the same process they use, I did quick browse of https://fisheye.codehaus.org/browse/plexus/pom/branches and the oldest available in 1.0.9. A quick look at /root/.m2/repository/org/codehaus/plexus/plexus/1.0.8/ shows that it's an empty directory (other directories aren't empty). This is probably something that needs to be reported to the Tika developers; the current developers will have a cached copy on their systems, and thus wouldn't normally see this problem. I did some poking around on the web but was unable to find another source for the plexus-1.0.8 data. If anyone can think of a different approach we might use; or source for plexus-1.0.8; or just point us in the right directions, that would be terrific. Thank you.
