file size check on pom.xml (or thing specified by --file opt) should only apply
to regular files (patch attached)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2399
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2399
Project: Maven 2
Type: Bug
Components: General, Command Line
Versions: 2.0.4
Reporter: Alan D. Salewski
Priority: Minor
Attachments: mvn-get-plugin
The file size check in {{maven-core/.../org/apache/maven/DefaultMaven.java}} is
applied too aggressively. In particular, it should only be applied to regular
files; when reading from a unix named pipe (probably other platform-specific
devices, too) we may not be able to determine the file size prior to reading
the data.
The real-world motiviation from this is the attached '{{mvn-get-plugin}}'
{{bash}} script, which wants to pipe a dummy {{pom.xml}} file to {{mvn}} on
{{stdin}} (by specifying {{/dev/stdin}} as the argument to the {{mvn}}
{{\-\-file}} command line option).
Once I submit this issue and have the issue number, I'll attach two patches,
one against the maven svn trunk, and one against the {{maven-2.0.4}} tag.
