The developers are working to fix the problems and its not consistent. So if you could post some of the errors you are getting while building it might help others to help (i.e. the terminal output you are seeing) you. If you are getting 302 errors I'm not sure what this is all about, could have something to do with the recent codehaus melt down but I'm not sure. I have experienced many build problems but nothing with 302 errors. Maven often receives timeouts while trying to populate the repository so it might help to just rerun 5 or 6 times. These problems are especially frequent on Monday mornings. Bottom line, you are not alone but don't expect it to be fixed by your deadline :-) There are several discussions related to this topic currently happening on the dev list. You can see them at nabble here; http://www.nabble.com/Apache-Geronimo---Dev-f136.html search for maven or maven 2 to find the discussions.
