Even without considering this, there is the classical problem of people trying to use maven who are not connected to the internet. This definitely should not be a prerequisite for maven usage. If a person has all the dependencies he needs located in the local repository, there is no need to connect to the internet at all.
Another thing: as far as maven.xml is concerned, it is mainly composed of other jelly namespaces (read: taglibs). The only thing which *might* be documented in an XSD is the werkz jelly taglib, which would only give you the <project>, <goal>, <pre/<postGoal>, <attain>, <attainGoal>, etc. tags...not very useful, since these are pretty simple anyway. -john On Mon, 2004-03-01 at 05:15, Maczka Michal wrote: > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Maczka Michal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 10:58 AM > > To: 'Maven Users List' > > Subject: RE: Depenceny version.. > > > > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 10:29 AM > > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Subject: RE: Depenceny version.. > > > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > > From: ext John Casey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > > The reason maven doesn't squawk at this is that it > > > > doesn't check for > > > > XML validity when parsing... > > > > > > Is this excpected to change in future releases?
