Hey,
I apologize for the naivete of this question, but I'm very much a Maven neophyte; I've seen some emails in the mailing list archive that touches on my problem, but none have been entirely clear, and I suspect that getting past this problem this one time will help me deal with any subsequent plugin problems.
According to Apache's own "getting started" guide, "The first time you execute this (or any other) command, Maven will need to download all the plugins and related dependencies it needs to fulfill the command."
http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html
However that hasn't been the case either for the Javadoc plugin or -- more importantly -- for the JBoss plugin. I was able to get Maven 2 to "see" the Javadoc plugin with the following XML in my POM:
<profiles>
<profile>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
</profiles>
If getting M2 to "see" the JBoss plugin requires similar XML, what precisely is the text I need to include?
Or, do I need to modify the settings.xml file in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\maven-2.0\conf ?
Or, as I gather from the mailing list archives, do I actually need to download the source myself -- despite what the "getting started" guide says? Where do I find the files to download? I gather I would need to download a POM, run "mvn install" from the top-level directory, and in my own project somehow establish a dependency on the subsequent JAR; how do I do that last bit?
Thanks,
