Hi,
I'm one of the Maven developers next-door at apache and the main
developer for the maven-dependency-plugin. We've had a few requests
recently from Tuscany users who have problems with the instructions or
with the pom. (I haven't found the instructions yet so I can't be
positive) You can see this thread for more info:
http://www.nabble.com/mvn-dependency%3Aunpack-tf3436260s177.html#a9580702

It seems that the instructions indicate to run "mvn
dependency:unpack", however the POM isn't setup correctly to do this.
I recently added a FAQ to the site as well as more examples for this
use case here:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/faq.html#question

I figured I'd pop in to see if we can try to get this fixed up so the
users don't have a bad experience both with Tuscany and Maven. Let me
know if there's anything I can do to help.

Hi Brian, Thanks for dropping by. I worked with Muhwas to get him a work
around so he could get our M2 tests running. I couldn't get the Tuscany M2
samples to work either following the instructions as documented in the
readme. It specifically says to do  "mvn dependecy:unpack" but I can't find
anywhere that the maven-dependency-plugin is configured in the pom hierarchy
for our M2 release. What is the intended behaviour if you do "mvn
dependecy:unpack" against a pom with no maven-dependency-plugin
configuration? Should it do anything sensible.

I wasn't very close to the M2 release but I know people tried the samples
before cutting the tag so something strange is going on. Anyhow I suspect
that it's a Tuscany problem and not a Maven problem but it needs more
investigation. If nothing else we need to fix our documentation!

Thanks again for posting this.

Simon
