How to unban a project on Maven

Question

I'm trying to install a file to my local Maven repositor (following the steps from https://gist.github.com/4211293), although, I'm always getting the following error message:

    PS C:\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib> mvn install:install-file  -DgroupId=com.google.android.gms -DartifactId=google-play-services-jar -Dversion=4 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=.\libs\google-play-services.jar

I'm not sure if the error is because google-play-services is being skipped, if you think so, please help to unban it.

Answer 1

To my knowledge, a project is only "banned" in that manner when some other module it depends on has failed to build. That's what it means about "previous failures". You need to go back to the first failure and fix that.

Answer 2

Problem solved. The error was related to the -Dfile parameter, as it seems to don't accept relative paths.

PS: Another problem I had was that I've been using PowerShell to run maven commands but there's some kind of incompatibility.
