[jboss-dev] Maven weirdness: cannot find maven-dependency-plugin

I've tried deleting my local org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin folder, and cannot get a new version of the plugin. Following the mvn clean install shown below, it only fetches down the metadata.xml files, and not the plugin itself? $ ls -al ~/sourcecontrol/local.mavenrepo/repository/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/ total 7 drwxrwxrwx+ 2 Kabir None 0 Apr 24 11:03 . drwxrwxrwx+ 26 Kabir None 0 Apr 24 11:03 .. -rwxrwxrwx 1 Kabir None 494 Apr 24 11:03 maven-metadata-central.xml -rwxrwxrwx 1 Kabir None 40 Apr 24 11:03 maven-metadata-central.xml.sha1 -rwxrwxrwx 1 Kabir None 319 Apr 24 11:03 maven-metadata-jboss.xml -rwxrwxrwx 1 Kabir None 40 Apr 24 11:03 maven-metadata-jboss.xml.sha1 -rwxrwxrwx 1 Kabir None 319 Apr 24 11:03 maven-metadata-repository.jboss.org.xml -rwxrwxrwx 1 Kabir None 40 Apr 24 11:03 maven-metadata-repository.jboss.org.xml.sha1 -rwxrwxrwx 1 Kabir None 157 Apr 24 11:03 maven-metadata-snapshots.jboss.org.xml Kabir@KabirDell ~/sourcecontrol/jboss-ejb3 $ mvn -U -up clean install ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Building JBoss EJB 3.0 Core [INFO] task-segment: [clean, install] [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin: checking for updates from repository.jboss.org [INFO] artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin: checking for updates from snapshots.jboss.org [INFO] artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin: checking for updates from jboss [INFO] artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin: checking for updates from central [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 1 minute 7 seconds [INFO] Finished at: Thu Apr 24 11:03:20 BST 2008 [INFO] Final Memory: 18M/35M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Kabir Khan JBoss AOP Lead JBoss, a division of Red Hat
