Unexpected behaviour <repository> settings in POM.xml. ------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2633 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2633 Project: Maven 2 Issue Type: Bug Components: Dependencies Affects Versions: 2.0.4 Environment: - Win XP - JDK 1.5 Reporter: Davy Toch Attachments: pom.xml Included a POM file which defines two repositories : a non-existing one and the central M2 repository. There is no local settings file ~/.m2/setting.xml and the complete folder ~/.m2/repository/junit is deleted. Now if I run 'maven install', I get the following : $mvn install [INFO] Scanning for projects...

Is it normal that retrieving the artifact (jar) completely fails the build? M2 could still try to connect to http://repo1.maven.org/maven2 to retrieve the artifact. 2. why is the POM file directly retrieved from http://repo1.maven.org/maven2 (no attempt to retrieve it from http://blieblie)? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
