planetmirror repository listed in the documentation prevents any project from
building
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2439
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2439
Project: Maven 2
Type: Bug
Components: Documentation: Guides
Reporter: Henning Schmiedehausen
Priority: Critical
On http://maven.apache.org/using/repositories.html, some maven repository URLs
are listed as examples. One of these is
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/maven/. However, this is not a "real" maven
repository, planetmirror.com insists on showing you advertisments before a jar
can be downloaded. It does behave differently whether you access an URL with a
browser, wget or maven.
This leads to hard to find build errors, because maven (1.0.2, the last
released version of 1.x, you know), even with the artifact updates installed,
chokes on these redirects and saves the HTML page as jar file. Which in turn
leads to hard to find build errors.
Please either remove planetmirror.com from the documentation pages or work with
the people there to fix this behaviour.
