mvn dependency:sources fails to download sources for dependencies with
<classifier>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MDEP-270
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-270
Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: sources
Affects Versions: 2.1
Environment: Mac OS 10.6
Reporter: Peter Niederwieser
Assignee: Brian Fox
Priority: Critical
Given the following dependency:
{noformat}
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.json-lib</groupId>
<artifactId>json-lib</artifactId>
<version>2.3</version>
<classifier>jdk15</classifier>
<optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
{noformat}
"mvn dependency:sources" fails to download the sources although they are
clearly in Maven Central (see
http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/net/sf/json-lib/json-lib/2.3/). My guess is that
the "jdk15" classifier is overridden with "sources".
Workaround is to use "mvn dependency:resolve -Dclassifier=jdk15-sources", which
seems to work. Of course, you'd have to do this for every dependency that has a
classifier. Also, most people won't even get that far. They will simply think
that the sources are not available.
