brew install maven 404 error - maven

Question

I did a brew install maven and it resulted in below:
==> Downloading http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz
==> Best Mirror http://apache.oss.eznetsols.org/maven/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404
Error: Download failed: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz
At first I thought it is a mirror problem with my network. But I changed to another network, and it is still the same. And still the same error after 4 days. I wonder if others are affected.
What should I do to install maven with brew?

Answer 1

If you are still getting errors with the url, try brew update and then brew install maven. Fixed the problem for me.

Answer 2

There is something strange with this mirror. You can change this with
brew edit maven
and change the url to
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/maven-3/3.0.4/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz
e.g.
require 'formula'
class Maven < Formula
homepage 'http://maven.apache.org/'
#url 'http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz'
url 'http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/maven-3/3.0.4/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz'
sha1 '0de5dc162bafde3fcb0a6b009cfeea81a042523b'
def install
# Remove windows files
rm_f Dir["bin/*.bat"]
# Fix the permissions on the global settings file.
chmod 0644, Dir["conf/settings.xml"]
prefix.install %w{ NOTICE.txt LICENSE.txt README.txt }
# Install jars in libexec to avoid conflicts
libexec.install Dir['*']
bin.install_symlink Dir["#{libexec}/bin/*"]
end
end

Answer 3

ZenBalance's answer worked for me. I first attempted Emoloney's answer, which caused the following error when I ran brew update:
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
Library/Formula/maven.rb
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Aborting Error: Failure while executing: git pull -q origin refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
To fix it:
cd /usr/local/Library/Formula
git reset --hard
Then:
brew update
brew install maven

Answer 4

You need to modify the URL using brew edit like Emoloney said,
but most important, don't forget to modify the sha1 code (get it from the same download page of the url). It is important to verify that you downloaded safely the exact file

Answer 5

For me, the following commands did the work:
brew update
brew install maven

Answer 6

update the mirror list of brew first
brew update
and then, try to install again. For this case
brew install maven
