    hey,
    i'm kinda new to macs and maven so therein lies the problem :)
    I'm trying to build a project but I can't with maven.

    Tried to follow some examples on the main maven site just to get running and got this error :
    maven-petstore-1.4 root$ mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'archetype'.
[INFO] org.codehaus.mojo: checking for updates from central

    I'm behind a firewall/proxy so that might have something to do with it. Thing is, I can't find where maven is installed... Can anyone tell me where it is so I can change my proxy settings?

    I'll prob have more questions on this later. Thanks

    Surely Maven is installed wherever you unzipped it? Maven is a badly documented piece of crap, good luck with it.

    Here is a well considered and eloquent assessment of Maven: http://www.bileblog.org/?p=322
