I copied the Maven 2.2 files, all but settings.xml, and got the error "Unable to start the embedded plexus container."
I then rmoved the new files and reverted to the old, and still get the error, as below. Any ideas how I should start debugging this? I'ven ot updated my POM in ages -- it seems that one day it was working, and the next month it wasn't...
