Unable to run playn sample project - compile errors - playn

Question

I've tried to follow the instructions on the getting started page for playn and run into problems when running the first program java showcase. I get the following errors when right clicking and running Maven test. Also I get numerous errors in the problem tab of eclipse related to (failure to transfer xxx from yyy) where xxx is some jar file and yyy is a gwt or playn website

Answer 1

You can try this:
Right click on "playn-showcase" then: Run As -> Maven Install
It should retrieve all dependencies correctly.
Next time you want to launch the sample, you can follow the tutorial procedure:
Right click on "playn-showcase-java" then: Run As -> Maven Test
