Maven 2 has transitive dependencies. That means that one of your dependencies has jdbc-stdext defined as a dependency (or potentially more levels of indirect dependency).
Also, a change from Maven 1 to Maven 2 that may be affecting you is that the groupId "javax.sql" now corresponds to a folder structure in the repostiory of repository/javax/sql. So your jar in the repository would be in repository/javax/sql/jdbc-stdext/2.0/jdbc-stdext-2.0.jar Or you can use these instructions: http://maven.apache.org/maven2/general.html#importing-jars -Stephen On 10/21/05, Mikael Wikström <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > releace of maven 2.0 reached me yesterday as music to my ears.
