Maven - plugin downoading problem

[Ramesh Kumar Swarnkar]

Hi ,

I get The following error while running 'mvn package' command in command prompt :

..................... ..................... ..................... .....................

[INFO]    task-segment: [package]

Though I have set PROXY setting into 'setting.xml'

<proxy> 
	    <active>true</active> 
	    <protocol>http</protocol> 
	    <host>xxxx</host> 
	    <port>8080</port> 
         </proxy>
       

I have even set the repository path where I have all the maven JARs like set: (maven-resources-plugin:pom.jar)

 
  <mirror>
      <id>mirrorId</id>
      <mirrorOf>repositoryId</mirrorOf>
      <name>Human Readable Name for this Mirror.</name>
      <!--url>http://my.repository.com/repo/path</url-->
      <url>C:\photoAlbumProj_Jar\maven-2.2.1\RameshMVNRepository</url>
    </mirror>

but It still gives the same error. Can someone please help to get out of this error ?

regards,
Ramesh

URLs don't have backslashes in them. In fact, a properly formed URL for this location would be:

file:///C:photoAlbumProj_Jar/maven-2.2.1/RameshMVNRepository

Although I'm not sure if the "file:" protocol is supported as a repository URL form in Maven or not, since I haven't checked the documentation. Maven repositories are commonly hosted on a web server.
