I downloaded a tutorial (http://blog.springsource.com/2010/01/25/ajax-simplifications-in-spring-3-0/) using SVN within Eclipse and I don't know what to do next.

1) I right-clicked on the pom.xml and selected Maven build.... I got BUILD SUCCESS

2) Next, I assumed that I select Maven Install but I received an error:

I'm new to using SVN within Eclipse and new with Maven, I usually have used Ant. Anyway, I don't know what the errors mean. It sounds like I may be missing a plugin or perhaps a dependency.Can someone help me determine what to do?

Thanks.

Looks like the pom.xml is missing a dependency required to compile the unit tests. You should ask Kieth Donald (the blogger) why his pom.xml is incomplete (the blog does allow comments and questions).

I thought maybe it was due to my lack of Maven/Eclipse knowledge and something easy that I overlooked through Eclipse. I'll post a comment on his blog.

Thanks.

Hi Laura,

you have to use Java 1.6 to accept the String constructor used in that sample application, not a matter of Maven.

Hi Peter!

Sorry, in my hurry to reply I forgot the well-manners: I'm an IT consultant working in Milan, Italy, and I love Java
I have appreciated the competence and kindness of JavaRanch people in the past: I'll try to give them back as far as I can

And... Well... Here I am!
