Maven works fine with JDK6. I use both the Sun JRE and BEA Jrockit JRE with it every day.

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'.

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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
