Robert Scholte commented on MNG-5185: ------------------------------------- options have been renamed to --llr, -legacy-local-repository and -Dmaven.legacyLocalRepository > Improve "missing dependency" error message when _maven.repositories contains > other repository ids than requested > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-5185 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5185 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 3.0.2, 3.0.3, 3.0.4 > Reporter: Mark Derricutt > Assignee: Olivier Lamy > Fix For: 3.1.0 > > Attachments: > 0001-MNG-5185-Warn-about-artifacts-present-but-not-availa.patch > > > Based on a discussion on the users list [1], Maven 3 has changed how it > resolves artifacts from remote repositories. Unfortunately, when "conflicts" > arise ( GAV is cached in local repo, but POM has no matching repository id > declared ), Maven just tells the user that the artifact could not be resolved. > This leads to confusion from users who find the .jar files in their local > repository, and they just get frustrated and complain that "maven sucks". > It would be good if Maven was updated with some improved error messages along > the lines of: > "The {GAV} artifact was found in your local repository, but came from the > undeclared repository "xxx", either configure this in your pom with {insert > sample XML block in error message}, or in your "yyy" mirror." > The "mirror" section of the error message should be included -if- the current > ~/.m2/settings.xml declares a mirror. By improving the messages here we can > help the users move on to building software, rather than pulling out their > hair :) > [1] > http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Maven-3-maven-repositories-and-lastUpdated-td4927537.html -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
