Would you know if there are any settings for a proxy within maven, or does it use the workbench settings?

It finally stops at the last repo on the list: > url = http://people.apache.org/~snoopdave/repo/ > Downloading: > http://people.apache.org/~snoopdave/repo//org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-site-plugin/2.0-beta-6/maven-site-plugin-2.0-beta-6.pom > [ERROR] I wonder if this is a mirror problem. Could Greg be hitting a UK version of one of the Maven repos and that repo does not have the latest Maven Site Plugin? Another idea: why are we using Maven Site Plugin 2.0-beta-6? Maybe I should switch to a release version of that module. - Dave Share our environment commitment - conserve resources and contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions by not printing the email unless absolutely necessary to do so.
