I am getting the error below when attempting to add the Apache commons-validator version 1.3.1 to my project.
It looks like this might be a known issue in Maven based on this bug report: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2123?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin. system.issuetabpanels:worklog-tabpanel. I am relatively new to Maven and am not sure how I can work around the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated! [INFO] Using default encoding to copy filtered resources.
