purge-local-repository does nothing if certain dependencies are included
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MDEP-272
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-272
Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: purge-local-repository
Affects Versions: 2.0
Reporter: Michele Lorenzini
Assignee: Brian Fox
Attachments: pom.xml
I've noticed that the {{purge-local-repository}} goal does nothing if certain
dependencies are present in the dependency tree of the project.
After some attempts I've found some of the dependencies that can show problem.
See attached {{pom.xml}}: if I run {{mvn validate}} as is, maven purges the
local repository and the log4j jar is downloaded from the remote repository.
Removing the comment around the jasperreports dependency and re-running {{mvn
validate}} gives the following result:
{code}
[INFO] [dependency:purge-local-repository {execution: default}]
[INFO] Nothing to do for project: test-issue:test-issue:pom:1.0.0.0-SNAPSHOT
{code}
So it seems that something goes wrong while resolving the dependencies for the
project if the jasperreports jar is included, resulting in the
{{purge-local-repository}} to skip the clean of the local repository.
I dont know if this happens only with jasperreports dependency or if it is
something more general.
