a question

[michel <Mi...@Sun.COM>]

Hello,

I have just installed Maven 2.0.8 on Windows XP SP2.
Commands do not seem to work-- and I cannot find the response in the doc.
It is my first installed version of Maven, and I don't use a proxy...

Please could you help me ?

Thanks,
-michel

Hello,
It sometimes happen that maven tries to download an artifact, fails to
do so, then leaves the local repository in such a state that later
downloading is prevented. May be you can try removing the dircetory
org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-help-plugin from the repository.
