Dumb maven newbie question ...

So just done clean Felix checkout, installed a clean vanilla maven2 
(2.0.4) and added to path.

Getting an error that I'm sure has been asked and answered before on 
this list, but searching the archives couldn't find an obvious answer:

    Reason: Unable to download the artifact from any repository

      org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-plugins:pom:1

    from the specified remote repositories:
      central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2),
      apache.snapshots (http://cvs.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository)

Guessing it needs an extra maven config step - or extra repos. 
definition, but didn't see any referenced on the only "build howto" page 
I could find:

    http://docs.safehaus.org/display/OSGI/Building+Felix

Please be gentle on me - I know this is probably a trivial one - but I'm 
a die-hard Ant user !

Hello Rob,

'central' seems down and is always slow anyway :S Try adding a mirror to
your ~/.m2/settings.xml. I'm using ggi-project.org as shown below..

	<!--		
		mirrors
		
		Specify one or more mirrors to use for central (or any 
		other repository defined by the project).
		
	-->
	<mirrors>
		<mirror>
			<id>ggi-project.org</id>
	
<url>http://ftp.ggi-project.org/pub/packages/maven2</url>
			<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
		</mirror>

		<!-- mirror>
			<id>planetmirror.com</id>
			<url>http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/maven2</url>
			<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
			</mirror>
			<mirror>
			<id>lsu.edu</id>
	
<url>http://ibiblio.lsu.edu/main/pub/packages/maven2</url>
			<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
			</mirror>
			<mirror>
			<id>ibiblio.net</id>
	
<url>http://www.ibiblio.net/pub/packages/maven2</url>
			<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
			</mirror -->
	</mirrors>
