Hi, I figured out the problem with the "unable to read file error." I realized that my file wasn't corrupted; I was just using an out-of-date maven 2.0 cargo plugin. I made the following change to my pom.xml file after making a copy of my old codehaus directory; I changed:
<url>http://cargo.codehaus.org/dist2-snapshot</url> To <url>http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org</url> Then I ran the mvn package command. I found in Maven 2.0 that you have to run some commands several times in order for a file to run correctly so after running the command 4 times the package ran correctly. FYI, the error message I was getting was an "I/O Exception" error so it just had to get all of the information to run properly. Thank you for your help. Also, it is hard to corrupt the codehaus file since maven creates it automatically with the url. Thanks again Wendy for your help and I hope that this message helps someone else who has a message like this.

Yes, something similar happened here yesterday. It looks like you have corrupted metadata in your local repository. This worked: Delete Cargo from your local repository, rm -rf $M2_REPO/org/codehaus/cargo and then double-check the remote repo you're using to get the Cargo snapshots. This one is working for me (up to yesterday I was using a different one,): http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org Then again, I build Cargo from source locally, so that may also have fixed it. :) HTH, -- Wendy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------- Attention: Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the message states otherwise and the sender is authorized to state them to be the views of any such entity.
