[13:51:44 CDT(-0500)] <athena> but i believe the -D property is -Dmaven.offline=true
[13:54:19 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> yeah i dug in the build.xml and saw that, but it didn't work immediately... i'm concerned that maybe I don't completely understand the order in which these events happen... and what would happen if there's already garbage in the .m2/repository dir
[14:18:10 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> I would like to consider changing the way we manage JDBC drivers as dependencies... I think it may offer advantages to simply list the HSQL driver, and encourage adopters to add (rather than replace) the driver(s) they use...
[14:18:38 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> I am often working on portals that use different RDBMSes for different environments
[14:47:11 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so the apache repo isn't just down
[14:47:15 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but it is returning bad status codes
[14:47:18 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> which is causing the problem
[14:47:28 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills1> yes
[14:47:32 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> find all files in your repo named maven-metadata-apache-snapshots.xml
[14:47:34 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and delete them
[14:48:02 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills1> i found that commenting out the snapshots repo would allow me to build
[14:48:23 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> good
[14:48:43 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills1> i tried about a dozen other things first
