I edited the settings.xml for apache-maven-2.2.1:

Then I checked out the sources from http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/trunk.

In the root dir of the checked out sources I executed "build".

I got the following error:

What do I have to do???

[pgier]

It looks like this jar might have been removed from central.  The Sonatype search tool still finds it:

http://search.maven.org/#search|gav|1|g%3A%22javax.servlet%22%20AND%20a%3A%22jstl%22

But it's not in central:

http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/servlet/jstl/

As a temporary workaround, you can use the "developer" group URL instead of "public-jboss".  The developer group includes a proxy of the Maven central repo and this proxy still has a copy of the jstl jar in it.

It appears to be related to http://community.jboss.org/message/610873#610873

Thanks to Paul and Jaikiran , the build is now successful.

But the next problem occured when I tried to build the tests:

Unable to resolve artifact: Missing:

----------

1) org.jboss.jbossas:jboss-as-hornetq-int:jar:6.1.0-SNAPSHOT

  Try downloading the file manually from the project website. Which website?

Hi, Had the same problem. What has worked for me as a temp solution was:

1. Get jstl.jar from JBoss AS 6 (jboss-as-distribution-6.0.0.Final.zip) - it's e.g. under

jboss-6.0.0.Final\server\default\deploy\jbossweb.sar\jstl.jar

2. Use mvn install:install-file to manualy put that JAR in a local repo:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=jstl.jar -DgroupId=javax.servlet -DartifactId=jstl -Dversion=1.2 -Dpackaging=jar

[pgier]

I believe the jstl issue is fixed now in trunk.

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-9409

[veit_ullmann]

Thank you, guys. I used the developer repository and the build was successful.

After the fix, you shouldn't need the developer repo anymore.  Default Maven settings should work fine.
