Thanks for the detailed response Simon. Your answers make sense, but I'm still disappointed that Maven doesn't handle the missing pom situation better. As you suggested, these auto-generated poms will basically be brain-dead, and will provide no useful information. If that's the case, then why-oh-why does Maven require them at all? I'd much rather spend a few minutes fixing Maven to make it stop trying to download pom files when it already has the jars, then write code to auto-generate useless poms, and make sure that it gets plugged in everywhere necessary. I'll probably do this and submit it as a patch, unless someone can explain to me the virtues of having all of these empty poms floating around. --Tim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
