Problem with flex-mojos

Question

If I try the getting-started on http://flexmojos.sonatype.org/getting-started.html I get some errors. Can somebody help me out? I'm new to maven, but since it's a getting-started, I was hopin' everything would go smooth...not.

Errors:

for artifact:
  org.sonatype.flexmojos:flexmojos-maven-plugin:maven-plugin:3.4.2

from the specified remote repositories:
  central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2)

Answer 1

These dependencies are not available in the repository that is being used (central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2)). For instance, the Saxon-dom dependency only has a 8.7 version and not a 9.0 as you require. http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/net/sf/saxon/saxon-dom/

To solve this, you need to add an extra repository to the pom that does have these dependencies.
