maven2 jboss 4.2.2 problem

[shogun1234]

Previously I build ejb3 with jboss by maven 2 (using systempath) and it works. Now I want to switch to use jboss repository. However, the message always returns

Missing:
----------
1) jboss:jboss-persistence-api:jar:3.0.0-SNAPSHOT

 Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

The snippet of the pom.xml file is as follow:

 <repository>
 <id>jboss-maven2</id>
 <name>jboss repository</name>
 <url>http://repository.jboss.org</url>
 </repository>
...
 <dependency>
 <groupId>jboss</groupId>
 <artifactId>jboss-ejb-api</artifactId>
 <version>3.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
 </dependency>
 <dependency>
 <groupId>jboss</groupId>
 <artifactId>jboss-persistence-api</artifactId>
 <version>3.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
 </dependency>

Then I check the jboss repository, in the dependency folder it contains an odd lib folder. Is there anyway to solve this problem? Or what should I do in order to solve this problem?

Thank you very much.

The snapshots are kept in a separate repository, so you'll have to enable that as well. Check:

http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/MavenSettings

Also, the snapshots repo will manually expire (delete) snapshots once they've reached a max age (I think 30 days?), so we've been moving to use releases more frequently. If you're building from trunk, see the instructions at:

http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/DevEJB3NewPlugin
