Dependencies without POMs cause intermittent failures
-----------------------------------------------------

         Key: MNG-2049
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2049
     Project: Maven 2
        Type: Bug

  Components: Artifacts and Repositories  
    Versions: 2.0.2    
    Reporter: Matthew Beermann


We have a number of jars in our repository that don't have POMs, e.g. 
third-party libraries, etc. Maven happily downloads the jar anyway, and issues 
a warning that there's no POM - except, sometimes, it just fails instead. See 
the build log below. If I were to rerun Maven again, it might fail on a 
different jar, or it might succeed. I can't seem to find any rhyme or reason to 
it...

I agree that a missing POM merits a warning, but if the jar is there, it 
shouldn't be failing the build!
