Build error at site-plugin => The skin does not exist

Hi,

I get this error today while making a build with the site plugin. Some 
Google search leads me to similar problems where it is said that a 
possible solution (or workaround) would be to add a site directory with a 
site.xml specifying the skin version.
The thing is, that I don't have any site plugin customization. The site 
goal worked perfectly well for weeks and our pom.xml is unchanged since 
October 9th.

Do you habe any idea what the cause of the problem is and how I can handle 
it?

Thanks in advance,
Ole

Antwort: RE: Build error at site-plugin => The skin does not exist

Posted by Ole Laurisch <la...@engram.de>.
I don't know exactly why, but the problem has disappeared as silent as it 
came. We are using nexus as a repository manager and yesterday I had 
another problem with its repositories. Maybe the fix of that problem has 
fixed the build problem too.

RE: Build error at site-plugin => The skin does not exist



I get this error if the central repository is not available when running 
the site command. In our environment, we use Artifactory with the mirrors 
setting. We have also disabled the central repository that is defined in 
the super pom. This prevents our builds from ever needing to go to the 
Internet for anything. Everything goes through Artifactory. For some 
reason I don't understand if you disable Central, this error occurs when 
running the maven site command.

It's documented here:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3139
