maven-glassfish-plugin can't get maven-metadata.xml

Question

I have used this plugin for one year.But several days ago,it stopped when tried to get some metadata.xml files from ocean.net.au.

Downloading: http://maven.ocean.net.au/release/org/apache/maven/maven-plugin-api/maven-metadata.xml Downloading: http://maven.ocean.net.au/snapshot/org/apache/maven/maven-plugin-api/maven-metadata.xml Downloading: http://maven.ocean.net.au/external/org/apache/maven/maven-plugin-api/maven-metadata.xml

Why this plugin needs to get these metadata.xml files every time? It seems the ocean.net.au site is down,did you run into the same problem?I am in China,we have GFW. Can I let this plugin don't download metadata.xml files each time?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I decided to use the command line to do this. It's easy.

Start domain1 in debug mode:

asadmin start-domain --debug=true domain1

Deploy an application:

mvn clean install
asadmin --host=localhost --port=4848 --passwordfile=$GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish_password --echo=true --interactive=false deploy --force=true --name=jsf2 --contextroot=kaimei ./target/kaimei.war

I had the same issue and I set the domain to resolve to a running apache. So I had not to wait for the timeout. I used my local domain but I do have by default an apache running. So you might need to change it to an IP of an always up service (for example, google company website, ..)

On (most) linux (and mac?) it's in

/etc/hosts (need to be root).

On windows

Windows 95/98/Me: c:\\windows\\hosts Windows NT/2000/XP Pro: c:\\winnt\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts Windows XP Home: c:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts Windows Vista: c:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts

You execute a ping for finding the ip (ex: google')

lucs@worf:~$ ping www.google.com
PING www.l.google.com (173.194.65.147) 56(84) bytes of data.

You can add flowing line in your host-file (ex: google').

173.194.65.147    maven.ocean.net.au
