Maven Error - Expected START_TAG or END_TAG not TEXT
- by onepotato
I am setting up a spring mvc web application + hibernate jpa + maven from scratch using Eclipse Indigo. I am stuck in this error when doing a Maven build.
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Error installing artifact's metadata: Error installing metadata: Error updating group repository metadata
expected START_TAG or END_TAG not TEXT (position: TEXT seen ...<extension>war</... @13:25)
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried googling but can't find a solution that works for me. I even search the whole project for the text <extension>war</ and mysteriously, there is no text like this in my project. However, in the tomcat web.xml there are a lot of <extension> tag, but I doubt that it has something to do in this error because I never touched that web.xml
Here is my pom.xml

As Funtik has suggested, I did a build with -X. Here is the stacktrace.
