Hi: I am trying to add Spring (as an example) as a dependency using Ant Tasks for Maven (inlining in the Ant build.xml). I've been able to do this without any problems w/ other dependencies. Here's the error I get:
runtime-dependencies: [artifact:dependencies] [INFO] artifact org.springframework:spring-core: checking for updates from http://download.java.net/maven/2/ [artifact:dependencies] An error has occurred while processing the Maven artifact tasks.

This task works fine on *nix. Any suggestions as to how to fix this or should I file a bug? Andy O
