That space was a copy/paste/email/highlighting/user error :-)
Here it goes again: mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.google.gwt -DartifactId=gwt-servlet -Dversion=1.4.10 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=gwt-servlet.jar It works FINE on my Linux box -- it just dies on the XP machine (even when I copy and paste carefully!), so I guess it's environmental, but I don't know what to check. Any pointers? I'm investigating the possibility of replacing ant and our custom jar dependency tool with maven, and this is making me look silly! (Which is not a good thing).

Well, you have some odd spaces in both of your examples. For example, no space between "gwt" and "-", and a space between the "=" after version in the first example. -- Bryan -----Original Message----- From: Kerry Sainsbury [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2007 5:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: install:install-file demanding a valid lifecycle phase ... Hi Folks, I'm a Maven newbie (sorry!) and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with install:install-file using Maven 2.0.6 I'm trying to install a jar file from the GWT toolkit, on Windows XP, but keep getting told "Invalid task 'XXXXX': you must specify a valid lifecycle phase, or a goal in the format plugin:goal or pluginGroupId:pluginArtifactId:pluginVersion:goal", where XXXXX is whatever value I pass to the first -D parameter passed. eg: C:\work\snews2\snews-gwt>mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.google.gwt-DartifactId=gwt-servlet -Dversion= 1.4.10 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=gwt-servlet.jar [INFO] Scanning for projects...
