The pom.xml in the template project refers to a com.atlassian.bamboo:atlassian-bamboo-web:1.1-SNAPSHOT dependency. Given that the plugin would presumably be built against a stable version of Bamboo (e.g. 1.0.1), it's probably not appropriate to link to a snapshot API. A quick look around the Atlassian repository indicates that there is no published version as yet. Pom snippet: <!-- This is the dependency to bamboo --> <dependency> <groupId>com.atlassian.bamboo</groupId> <artifactId>atlassian-bamboo-web</artifactId> <version>1.1-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency>
