brew install maven 404 error

Question

I did a brew install maven and it resulted in below:

==> Downloading http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz ==> Best Mirror http://apache.oss.eznetsols.org/maven/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz  curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Error: Download failed: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz 

At first I thought it is a mirror problem with my network. But I changed to another network, and it is still the same. And still the same error after 4 days. I wonder if others are affected.

What should I do to install maven with brew?

Answer 1

If you are still getting errors with the url, try brew update and then brew install maven. Fixed the problem for me.

Answer 2

There is something strange with this mirror. You can change this with

brew edit maven 

and change the url to

http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/maven-3/3.0.4/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz

e.g.

require 'formula'

class Maven < Formula   homepage 'http://maven.apache.org/'   #url 'http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz'   url 'http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/maven-3/3.0.4/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz'   sha1 '0de5dc162bafde3fcb0a6b009cfeea81a042523b'    def install     # Remove windows files     rm_f Dir["bin/*.bat"]      # Fix the permissions on the global settings file.     chmod 0644, Dir["conf/settings.xml"]      prefix.install %w{ NOTICE.txt LICENSE.txt README.txt }     # Install jars in libexec to avoid conflicts     libexec.install Dir['*']     bin.install_symlink Dir["#{libexec}/bin/*"]   end end
