Hi all, I downloaded Maven 2.0.7 on a new installation. I'm running JDK 6 on Windows XP.
When I try to build anything, I get the following error: C:\Projects\jemmaiel\rda\jboss-microcontainer>mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=uk.co.jemos -DartifactId=jboss-microcontainer [INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'archetype'. [INFO] org.codehaus.mojo: checking for updates from central [WARNING] repository metadata for: 'org.codehaus.mojo' could not be retrieved from repository: central due to an error: Error transferring file [INFO] Repository 'central' will be blacklisted [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 2 seconds [INFO] Finished at: Sun Nov 25 23:52:05 GMT 2007 [INFO] Final Memory: 1M/4M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I looked on the internet and I found the following http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2792 Although it seems from JIRA that the issue has been fixed, could please someone of you confirm that Maven 2 actually works/doesn't work with JDK6? I'm writing a project for my MSc and would like to use Maven as project management tool, but I need to be sure on the technology to use (i.e. if I can use JDK6 or I have to downgrade to JDK5). Thank you for any answers. M.
