Tobias Oberlies created MNG-5638: ------------------------------------ Summary: Whitespaces matter in <mirrorOf> configuration Key: MNG-5638 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5638 Project: Maven 2 & 3 Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.2.1 Reporter: Tobias Oberlies
Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Use the following settings.xml (replacing the URLs with valid URLs in your environment): {noformat} <settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd"> <mirrors> <mirror> <id>mirror1</id> <url>http://nexus:8081/nexus/content/repositories/releases/</url> <mirrorOf> external:*, !snapshots.repo </mirrorOf> </mirror> </mirrors> <profiles> <profile> <id>use-snapshots-repo</id> <pluginRepositories> <pluginRepository> <id>snapshots.repo</id> <url>http://nexus:8081/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/</url> </pluginRepository> </pluginRepositories> <repositories> <repository> <id>snapshots.repo</id> <url>http://nexus:8081/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/</url> </repository> </repositories> </profile> </profiles> <activeProfiles> <activeProfile>use-snapshots-repo</activeProfile> </activeProfiles> </settings> {noformat} 2. Set up a project which uses an artifact from {{snapshots.repo}} which is not available in the local Maven repository 3. Build the project: The build fails because Maven only tries to download from the releases repository. Expected behaviour: Maven should have used the snapshots repo. The root cause of the problem is that whitespaces around the separators in the {{mirrorOf}} configuration are not trimmed. When changing the configuration to {noformat} <mirrorOf> external:*,!snapshots.repo </mirrorOf> {noformat} the snapshots repository is used and the build passes. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
