Gents, I wanted to address this to you directly as is a bit of a difficult problem which I'd really like to solve. Its currently blocking my finishing touches to the dotnet support for maven whcih I'd really like to get out and working. I've filed a bug <http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1933> already about this but I was hoping that if I emailed you guys perhaps with a couple of pointers I could create a fix myself? The problem I'm having is that when I have an artifact with a dependency in its pom of type "system" which also has a more than two full stops in the name. The example I 'm using is for the C# plugin stuff but I am convinced that it would do this for everything with more than two full stops in the name. ex <dependency> <groupId>System</groupId> <artifactId>Remoting</artifactId> <version>1.1</version> <type>dotnet-library</type> <scope>system</scope> <systemPath>${dotnet.home}/System.Runtime.Remoting.dll</systemPath> </dependency> When I compile this project I have no problems. However if I reference this project (and its pom) from another project then m2 will try and load this dll through transitive dependencies, I get an error message like this: [INFO] Using default encoding to copy filtered resources. [DEBUG] com.javaforge.maven-csharp:Maverick:dotnet-library:1.2.0.0 (selected for null) [DEBUG] System:System.Web:dotnet-library:1.1 (selected for system) [DEBUG] System:System:dotnet-library:1.1 (selected for system) [DEBUG] System:System.Data:dotnet-library:1.1 (selected for system) [DEBUG] System:System.Xml:dotnet-library:1.1 (selected for system) [DEBUG] System:System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap:dotnet-library:1.1 (selected for system) [DEBUG] nunit:nunit.console:dotnet-exe:2.2 (selected for test) [DEBUG] com.javaforge.maven-csharp:log4net:dotnet-library:1.2.9-beta (selected for compile) [DEBUG] System:System.Web:dotnet-library:1.1 (selected for system) [DEBUG] System:System:dotnet-library:1.1 (selected for system) [DEBUG] System:System.Data:dotnet-library:1.1 (selected for system) [DEBUG] System:System.Xml:dotnet-library:1.1 (selected for system) [DEBUG] System:Remoting:dotnet-library:1.1 (selected for system) [INFO] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [INFO] Failed to resolve artifact. GroupId: System ArtifactId: Remoting Version: 1.1 Reason: System artifact: System:Remoting:dotnet-library:1.1 not found in path: ${dotnet.home}\System.Runtime.Remoting.dll System:Remoting:1.1:dotnet-library The default artifact resolver throws an error saying it cannot find the artifact. My guess is that this is because it is trying to package-ise the artifact Id so instead of looking in ${dotnet.home}\System.Runtime.Remoting.dll It is actually looking in ${dotnet.home}\System\Runtime.Remoting.dll. Where I'm struggling really is a place to start, would it be possible for me to specify my own ArtifactResolver that I could tell it not too package-ise the file names? If so does anyone have any idea how I could do that, can I tell plexus in my components.xml to load a different ArtifactResolver? I don't mind doing all the legwork to get it fixed, just if anyone could give me an idea of how to start that would be superb. That would mean that I could get the C# up onto ibiblio and people using it. I've already fleshed out the docco <http://maven-csharp.javaforge.com> and am working on adding more. Any help massively appreciated, Chris
