Perhaps some other dependency wants another version? Try putting it back without the brackets and run dependency:tree to see what you get.

For OpenLazlo, I manually created a pom and installed it into my local repo. Along with other dependencies, it specifies: <dependency> <groupId>commons-httpclient</groupId> <artifactId>commons-httpclient</artifactId> <version>2.0-rc1</version> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency> For whatever reason, Maven 2.08 isn't very impressed by version 2.0-rc1, and uses 3.0 instead. This however let's the openlazlo project fail. The only configuration I was able to run was using version 2.0-rc1. So I read: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-enforcer-plugin/rules/versionRange s.html and accordingly changed the version to:[2.0-rc1]. Now Maven 2 is even more unhappy: ------------------ [INFO] Failed to resolve artifact. No versions are present in the repository for the artifact with a range [2.0-rc1,2.0-rc1] commons-httpclient:commons-httpclient:jar:null from the specified remote repositories: central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2), ... ------------------ But WHY? If you browse to: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/commons-httpclient/commons-httpclient/2.0- rc1/ You can see it's def. there!!! Also, I've got this file in my local repository!!! :-( Any idea whats wrong here? Thanks in advance, your help rules! :-) Cheers, Stefanie -- Psst!
