The following comment has been added to this issue: Author: Brill Pappin Created: Fri, 23 Jan 2004 1:33 PM Body: There is also the issue of plugin not respecting the override directive for an artifact.
I've found as I work with Maven that the override is extramly important (not everything is always in the remote repo) and several plugin ignore the diretive, generating bad files (ANt plugin and Eclipse plugin are two the are most annoying to me personally). --------------------------------------------------------------------- View this comment: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=MAVEN-558&page=comments#action_16087 --------------------------------------------------------------------- View the issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=MAVEN-558 Here is an overview of the issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: MAVEN-558 Summary: Errors incorrectly reported when an artifact does not exist on a remote repo Type: Bug Status: Unassigned Priority: Major Original Estimate: Unknown Time Spent: Unknown Remaining: Unknown Project: maven Components: core Fix Fors: 1.0-final Versions: 1.0-beta-9 Assignee: Reporter: David Zeleznik Created: Wed, 9 Jul 2003 9:25 PM Updated: Fri, 23 Jan 2004 1:33 PM Description: The expected behavior of the DependencyVerifier is to check all remote repos for an artifact. If the artifact is successfully downloaded from at least one remote repo, the fact that the artifact may not exist on other remote repos is supposed to be ignored. Instead, the error is reported to the console "Error retrieving artifact from ...". The logic in DependencyVerifier is actually correct. The problem is in r1.26 of HttpUtils.getFile() which incorrectly throws a generic Exception when a file is not found at a remote URL. Instead, HttpUtils should throw a FileNotFound exception for this case, which will then be caught and handled properly by DependencyVerifier. --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
