Dan Tran closed MDEP-162.
-------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Assignee: Dan Tran (was: Brian Fox)
even though url format is valid for localRepository settings, but I dont think
it is worth for use to do the extra mile to support this since it is very
uncommon usage.
> localRepository as file URL in settings.xml makes unpacking dependencies
> fail: expanding into null

> Key: MDEP-162
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-162
> Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: unpack-dependencies
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Environment: Windows XP
> Reporter: Heiko Selber
> Assignee: Dan Tran
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: expanding_into_null.txt
>
>
> I specified the localRepository in settings.xml like this:
> <localRepository>file:///C:/.m2/repository</localRepository>
> Using a file URL is apparently valid for artifacts which are only downloaded.
> However, when a dependency is to be expanded to .unpacked-modules, a file URL
> leads to failure.
> The dependency is unpacked to the directory where mvn was started.
> The console output shows this line:
> [INFO] Expanding:
> c:\.m2\repository\com\company\project\activemq-cpp\2.1.3_02\activemq-cpp-2.1.3_02-win32.zip
> into null
> Debug output is attached, look for outputDirectory.
> The problem here is an inconsistency in treating a file URL; it is correctly
> used by some modules, but incorrectly by others.
> Possible solutions:
> 1. Accept file URLs everywhere (preferred)
> 2. Don't accept file URLs anywhere and fail cleanly when file URL is
> encountered
> 3. Document clearly in which format the path is to be given
