Hi All:

I am new to displaytag and Maven. I download the displaytag-examples from the url "http://sourceforge.net/projects/displaytag/files/" it is part of the "displaytag-1.2-src.zip"
I am using MyEclipse 5.5 and Weblogic 11g.
I got all of the artifacts download. I was able to do "Mavern Install" and "Mavern Package" successfully on the project


In the "displaytag-example" java project. I see the following Problem "Description Resource Path Location Type
The container 'Maven Dependencies' references non existing library 'C:\Documents and Settings\alam\.m2\repository\commons-lang\commons-lang] -->.3\commons-lang-2.3.jar' displaytag-examples Build path Build Path Problem
"
I ran the following command and the jar file was copy to the respective directory under .m2:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=commons-lang -DartifactId=commons-lang -Dversion=2.3 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/test5/commons-lang-2.3.jar

But I noticed that in the directory C:\Documents and Settings\alam\.m2\repository\commons-lang\commons-lang] -->.3 there was only the commons-lang-2.3.jar file but the following files doesnot exist:
commons-lang-2.3.jar.sha1
commons-lang-2.3.pom
commons-lang-2.3.pom.sha1

This is the result of running the following command:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=commons-lang -DartifactId=commons-lang -Dversion=2.3 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/test5/commons-lang-2.3.jar

Result:

The strange thing is that even in the pom.xml dependencies I changed it to common-lang:2.4 and I made sure in the local maven repository "C:\Documents and Settings\alam\.m2\repository\commons-lang\commons-lang] -->.4" exists with the correct
jar but I don't know why my java project in eclipse 3.5 is giving the error:
Description Resource Path Location Type
The container 'Maven Dependencies' references non existing library 'C:\Documents and Settings\alam\.m2\repository\commons-lang\commons-lang] -->.3\commons-lang-2.3.jar' displaytag-examples Build path Build Path Problem

I donot see 2.3 being referenced in the pom.xml. Could it be somewhere else being referenced in the eclipse project. If so where?

Any help or hint would be greatly appreciated it!!!

Yours,

Frustrated.

The referred link (http://sourceforge.net/projects/displaytag/files) is not a displaytag-example. It is "Display Tag Library", which is an open source suite of custom tags that provide high-level web presentation patterns which will work in an MVC model.

Since you are new to Maven, I would recommend you to go through our tutorials here to develop Maven based application
