Maven is failing to download the tomcat-maven-plugin snapshot

Question

Even after wiping out my settings.xml, I still get this error when trying to use this snapshot dependency. Given the dependency:

Answer 1

I know this post is a little old, but the tomcat maven plugin has been moved to the apache maven repository. Codehaus only hosts version 1.0 of the plugin. If you want 2.0-snapshot (so you can run tomcat 7), you need to change your pom.xml a little bit. Note that 2.0 is under development.

        people.apache.snapshots
        http://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots-group/
        
            false
        
        
            true
        
    



    
        apache.snapshots
        Apache Snapshots
        http://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots-group/
        
            false
        
        
            true
        
    

And your plugin configuration goes like this:

    org.apache.tomcat.maven
    tomcat7-maven-plugin
    2.0-SNAPSHOT
