Help for strange things about central repositiory
Hi there,
I suddenly cannot run mvn command at one of my home computer. The "root"
cause is that the very 'org.apache.maven.plugins' cannot be downloaded. I
know it is not the central repository that has the problem. I was able to
run this on other computer at home. It doesn't seem that my isp is
blocking me. I m copying the output when I run* mvn -v* and the comand from
tutorial *mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-a
*pp

Thanks Deron,
Yes. I am also using Norton on XP. I have to let Norton 360 unblock both
mvn.bat and java.exe that mvn use.
Cheers,
Jack

Hi Jack,
I think you may be on the right track. I experienced a similar issue after
installing Norton Internet Security a year or two ago, since Norton's
firewall was preventing mvn and mvn.bat from contacting the central repo.
Usually Norton prompts you when it blocks a program, but it didn't in this
case for me, which made it surprisingly difficult to figure out. I needed to
go into the Norton settings and unblock maven.
In addition, if you're running Windows Vista, you might want to go into the
Vista firewall settings and see if the solution is in there. Like Norton,
Windows Vista's firewall normally asks you if you want to block or allow a
program's communication when it first occurs, but it doesn't always do this.
