Hi, This question is regarding dependencies and how they are stored in repo1 AND my corporate repo. There are projects that have just .pom files and no corresponding jars. When I open up the pom file, I see a packaging a type jar. Still.. no jar. Also there is no 'relocation' element specified.
For example, on http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/, I noticed that some versions (of projects) contain jars and some do not. For instance: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/cobertura/cobertura/1.8/ has jars but http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/cobertura/cobertura/1.9rc1/ does not. Just a .pom file exists. Similarly, in my corporate repo, when I built my project, antlr was downloaded. There is no direct dependency on antlr on my project, so I suppose it was pulled in transitively. However, the repo is missing antlr-2.7.6.jar. All it has is a antlr-2.7.6.pom (and a sha1 file). Note however that repo1 for antlr 2.7.6 does have the jar! http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/antlr/antlr/2.7.6/ So what decides whether a jar is downloaded to my local repo (or corporate repo) or just a .pom is downloaded. Why do some projects have just .pom files and others have jars + .pom files? And why did Antlr-2.7.6.jar not get downloaded to my corporate repo, instead only antlr-2.7.6.pom was downloaded?
