I am having a real tough time understanding this point
1) Why am I having such a hard time getting past step 1 in creating my
first Maven project
mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app
Reason: Error getting POM for
'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin' from the repository:
Unable to read local cop
y of metadata: Cannot read metadata from
'c:\MavenRepo\org\apache\maven\plugins\maven-archetype-plugin\maven-metadata-central
.xml': attribute value must start with quotation or apostrophe not s
(position: TEXT seen ...</head>\r\n<body>\r\n<link rel=s
... @6:12)
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:pom:LATEST
Everyone mentions it could be a Http proxy issue. Well I tried that too.
If that's the case and I know my HTTP proxy server and start changing the
settings.xml file,
do I need to know the server's username/password. Why is it so hard to
set-up?
Is there a workaround to this method?
