Problem following CheatSheet instructions

[sanity]

So I'm trying to follow the instructions at:

What am I doing wrong?

thanks,

I bet if you check your version of mvn, I think you can do that by
type mvn -version of mvn -v

It will be less that 2.0.7. Taken from your output:

[INFO] Ignoring available plugin update: 2.1 as it requires Maven
version 2.0.7
[INFO] Ignoring available plugin update: 2.0 as it requires Maven
version 2.0.7

I had to upgrade maven last night, when I was giving lift another
whack.

Hi, Ian.

You checked out the 'trunk' directory and named it 'liftweb'. 'trunk'
has another directory underneath it named 'liftweb'; this is shown in
the svn output:

> A liftweb/liftweb

You can either 'cd liftweb/liftweb' and continue on, or (I prefer this
option) you can change your checkout to:

$ svn co http://liftweb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/liftweb

This will give you a directory named 'liftweb' by default, and you can
cd to that directory and follow the instructions from there.

If I recall correctly, there were a couple other gotchas in those
instructions, due to some directory shifting that has happened since
they were written. You can try the writeup I did at my blog (http://
davidrupp.blogspot.com/2007/10/fun-with-scala-liftweb-getting-
started.html); please let me know if *those* instruction are out-of-
date so I can keep them current. :-)

Regards,
David
