> Give us your version of a better message Hmm, ... looking back, I might be better able to interpret the given message now. But now I also know more about maven, than I did before :-) Maybe something pointing out more precisely, the value that is wrong. Looking at the sources, I think it is Repository.splitSCMConnection(...) which throws the exception with the msg. If it included the actual connection string, I would know which text it was parsing when the error occurred. Maybe it could even say something like "project.xml element '<connection>' contains the string '...' which is expected to ...... bla bla". --------------------------------------------------------------------- View the issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=MAVEN-897 Here is an overview of the issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: MAVEN-897 Summary: Not very informative error message on xdoc template error Type: Improvement Status: Unassigned Priority: Trivial Time Spent: Unknown Remaining: Unknown Project: maven Components: plugin-xdoc Fix Fors: 1.1 Versions: 1.0-rc1 Assignee: Reporter: Per Olesen Created: Mon, 6 Oct 2003 1:56 PM Updated: Wed, 8 Oct 2003 10:26 AM Description: Hi, Had a problem where a wrong value inside the project.xml <repository><connection>.... element gave me a not very informative error message: File...... file:/home/polesen/.maven/plugins/maven-xdoc-plugin-1.4/ Element... velocity:merge Line...... 399 Column.... 9 Invocation of method 'getCvsRoot' in class org.apache.maven.project.Repository threw exception class java.lang.IllegalArgumentException : repository connection string contains more than six tokens It took me some time, and some searching around inside the xdoc plugin files, to find out what my problem was. I do not know if it is easy to give a better message, or if it is a result of the use of velocity templates!? Anyways, I think a newcomer will have some problems finding out what's wrong! /Per --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
