[Geoserver-devel] Error building with Maven2

Hi,
When trying to build GeoServer I get the following error. It's trying to
download the file from mortbay.org but the site seems to be down. I searched
for all mention of mortbay.org and switched them to other locations and it
actually got past this error, but then failed it failed some tests! This is
the first time I've tried to build GeoServer so please be patient with my
stupidity.

Cheers,
Jon

Hum, that jar should be on central, so I guess central is gone
bye bye for today (unfortunately it's not that reliable).

I suggest you setup maven mirrors so that when central does not answer
other more reliable (and possibly faster) sites may kick in.
You can find a guide here:
