DefaultPluginManager.addPlugin() doesn't tell which plugin is broken --------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2691 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2691 Project: Maven 2 Issue Type: Bug Components: Plugins and Lifecycle Affects Versions: 2.0.5 Reporter: Aaron Digulla In DefaultPluginManager.addPlugin() is code like this: throw new IllegalStateException( "The PluginDescriptor for the plugin " + plugin + " was not found." ); Unfortunately, "plugin" has no toString(), so you just see the Java classname and the object id. Replace all three places with "plugin.getKey()" or, even better, add a new method to Plugin which also includes the version string if there is one. Also the error message of the IllegalStateException should be: "The PluginDescriptor for the plugin " + plugin.getKey() + " was not found. Are you sure this is a Maven plugin and not a normal dependency?" -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
