Configure atlassian repo for accessing Google GData artifact

Maven info:
Apache Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-02-28 12:31:09-0500)
Maven home: /usr/share/maven
Java version: 1.6.0_29, vendor: Apple Inc.
Java home: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: MacRoman
OS name: "mac os x", version: "10.6.8", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"

Currently maven.glassfish.org is down, maybe this is the making the gdata jars unavailable. You could try building individual projects and leave out the google example (this should work if the other examples do not depend on the jbehave-google subproject) or use --fail-at-end to build everything that works and leave out the subprojects that depend on missing files.

Another possibility would be to figure out an alternative repository for the missing dependencies and put that into settings.xml instead of glassfish, e.g. the java.net maven repository (http://maven2-repository.java.net/)

I will try a build with an empty repository to check what actually works, if I can figure out how it works, I'll post another comment

you can change the following in settings.xml

<id>glassfish</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault>
</activation>

and add after the last </profile>

<profile>
<id>java.net</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>java.net</id>
<url>https://maven.java.net/content/groups/public/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>java.net</id>
<url>https://maven.java.net/content/groups/public/</url>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>atlassian</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>atlassian</id>
<url>https://maven.atlassian.com/repository/public</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>atlassian</id>
<url>https://maven.atlassian.com/repository/public</url>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
</profile>

this will disable glassfish (one request remains however that will just time out and use the repositories for java.net and atlassian to resolve the missing files.

This should only be necessary once, after one successful run of mvn -s settings.xml you do not need the settings anymore.

Thanks for the update Alexander!
I did as you suggested and got the following:

which caused the build to fail: [ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project jbehave-distribution: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.jbehave:jbehave-distribution:pom:3.5.4: Could not find artifact com.google.gdata:gdata-java-client:jar:1.40.0.atlassian-2 in jboss-public-repository-group (http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/) -> [Help 1]

I got passed this error with the following: gdata-java-client
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=gdata -DartifactId=client -Dversion=1.0 -Dfile=gdata-client-1.40.0.jar -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true

Now I get the following error:

The problem seems to stem from the changes following the upgrades to Nexus 2.0.

I've replaced glassfish with atlassian repo and the build now works from an empty repo, without need to install manually any artifact.

If you are trying to build the distribution, you should use

mvn clean install -Preporting,distribution

Thank Mauro. Any hints on where to get this version?

Just pull latest and it will build.

if you have used a source zip before (e.g. jbehave-distribution-3.5.4-src.zip), you have to clone from github once to get the current version, if you have done this, you can get the updates with git pull.

Hi Mauro.
After downloading this: 3.6-beta-3
When I run this: "mvn clean install -Preporting,distribution"
I see: [INFO] Building JBehave Distribution 3.6-beta-3

In the downloading, I got this warning: Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/google/gdata/gdata-java-client/1.40.0.atlassian-2/gdata-java-client-1.40.0.atlassian-2.pom
[WARNING] The POM for com.google.gdata:gdata-java-client:jar:1.40.0.atlassian-2 is missing, no dependency information available

I got this error (same as before without the manually loading gdata-java-client):
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project jbehave-distribution: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.jbehave:jbehave-distribution:pom:3.6-beta-3: Could not find artifact com.google.gdata:gdata-java-client:jar:1.40.0.atlassian-2 in central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2) -> [Help 1]
I'll try to manually install it again and see if I can get farther.

I pulled the code with this: git clone https://github.com/jbehave/jbehave-core.git

When I ran the following "mvn clean install -Preporting,distribution", it went for a long time and then I lost the error. Rerunning it, I got the following:

Thanks Mauro! I got a successful build using mvn -s settings.xml clean install -Pexamples
