Hi Bernhard, I recommend you to use the following servlet API (tomcat): http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/tomcat/jars/
The dependy definition should be: <dependency> <groupId>tomcat</groupId> <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId> <version>5.0.16</version> </dependency> Lets have a look http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/tomcat/jars/ You can use also a proxy. http://maven-proxy.codehaus.org/ Regards, Vincent On Thu, 17 Mar 2005 16:45:49 +0100, Bernhard Slominski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm new to Maven and try to get my dependencies working and have problems > with the file protocol. > I'm using Windows 2000, SP4. > > I have the follwing dependecy: > <dependency> > <groupId>servletapi</groupId> > <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId> > <version>2.4-20040521</version> > </dependency> > I have stored the file under: > D:\java_dev\maven\lib\servletapi\jars\servlet-api-2.4-20040521.jar > > It works fine when I download via the remote repository, but when trying to > load it locally with the file protocol it does not work, even I tried the > file url in my browser. > > I tried two things: > 1. with <url> (I renamed the Version to 2.4 otherwise it will pick up the > one at http://www.ibiblio.org/maven) > project.xml: > <dependency> > <groupId>servletapi</groupId> > <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId> > <version>2.4</version> > <url>file:///d:/java_dev/maven/lib</url> > </dependency> > > File location: > D:\java_dev\maven\lib\servletapi\jars\servlet-api-2.4.jar > Error message: > Error retrieving artifact from > [file://d:/java_dev/maven/lib/servletapi/jars/servlet-api-2.4.jar]: > java.net.UnknownHostException: d > WARNING: Failed to download servlet-api-2.4.jar. > The build cannot continue because of the following unsatisfied > dependency:... > > 2.
