I am new to Maven. I am trying to compile Flex using maven plug-in flexmojos. I am having hard time to get maven download files from public repository. Currently we do not have any company intranet repository. Maven always fails to download required files (eg: flex-framework) from repository. Initially I did not configure the proxy, but now I did. After that maven was able to communicate to the repositories but unable to download all the files. I did try deleting the ‘repository’ directory couple of times, and also tried re-installing maven software.
Because, it could not download the files I thought may be I should try copying the files manually into the default repository location (/.m2/repository) and did that. But still I get an error as below.
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project nuxi-nms-flex-stats: Could not resolve

This error message is really frustrating me. I have also tried building a sample app from sonatype examples on how to build a Flex app. Even that fails with a similar message (this time it complained unable to download flex compiler)

My question is, am I doing anything wrong? What could be the issue here? Any help in this regard is appreciated…. Thanks…
Sorry for such a lengthy explanation…
This could be easily fixed by using maven archetypes instead of building it manually. As a good starting point, do this in the command line to create you folder structure & initial pom:
