Hi Brett -
I just tried using only http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org/ but
maven-build-helper is still in http://snapshots.maven.codehaus.org/maven2/
and we use it.
I.e., this dir has no jars:
http://repository.codehaus.org/org/codehaus/mojo/build-helper-maven-plugin/
This dir does:
http://snapshots.maven.codehaus.org/maven2/org/codehaus/mojo/build-helper-maven-plugin/
So here is the configuration that now works for us:
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
<id>maven-snapshots</id>
<name>Maven Snapshots</name>
<url>http://cvs.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository</url>
</pluginRepository>
<pluginRepository>
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
<id>codehaus-snapshots</id>
<name>Codehaus Snapshots</name>
<url>http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org/</url>
</pluginRepository>
<pluginRepository>
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
<id>codehaus-mojo</id>
<name>Codehaus Mojo Plugins</name>
<url>http://snapshots.maven.codehaus.org/maven2/</url>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
Removing any one of the 3 breaks our build.
thx,
-Russ
