Re: [eclipselink-users] Trouble with Maven repository/artifacts

[Tom Ware <tom.ware@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jon,

  The URL you list should be correct 
(http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?r=1&nf=1&file=/technology/eclipselink/maven.repo).

  The other URL you have listed is the wiki with the instructions.  Have you 
had a look at it?

  From what I can tell from your error message, you are trying to get some 
Spring bundles.  Is that correct?  If so, you will likely need a different 
repository to get it.  Take a look at the wiki with the instructions to see what 
you can get from our repository - there is even some sample POM xml.

  If the above doesn't help, let us know what the parts of your pom.xml entries 
for EclipseLink look like and a full list of the error messages you are seeing are.
