I have the maven blues

[Azoth]

I was trying to add Apache math lib using maven . I plugged
in all the data and upon compilation it states it can't find the
dependency. I tried manually. Same result. Help.

This error occurs when Maven can not download dependencies. One of the following reasons could be responsible for this type of error:

1. The POM misses the declaration of the <repository> which hosts the artifact.
2. To configure repository, repository require authentication and Maven might have failed to provide the correct credentials to the server.
3. The remote repository uses SSL and the JVM running Maven does not trust the certificate of the server.
4. Network problem might be preventing Maven from accessing the remote repository like missing proxy configration
5. You have configured Maven to perform strict checksum validation and the files to download got corrupted.
6. Maven might have failed to save the files to the local repository, you can check LocalRepositoryNotAccessibleException for details.
7. Maven 3 cache the failure even if you have fixed the failed download and to force a refresh add -U to the command line.

On one try it stated the Pom was missing for Apache. Math.
I haven't configured maven to checksum. I tried other libs and it runs

Well I got Maven to accept Apache lib with errors.
I tried to import it as

 package org.apache.commons.math3.stat.descriptive ;

to test

    DescriptiveStatistics s= new DescriptiveStatistics;

and I get it can't find the file
I also tried

 
import package org.apache.commons.math3.stat.descriptive ;

Help

import package org.apache.commons.math3.stat.descriptive ;

That looks like bad syntax for the import statement. There should not be a space in the package name.

Do you get any error messages with that statement?
