The following comment has been added to this issue: Author: dion gillard Created: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 10:08 PM Body: It's a JEXL/Jelly restriction.
JEXL doesn't recognise dotted or dashed variable names. See http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/jexl/reference/syntax.html#Language%20Elements for details. Jelly adds the notion of ant style variables. Unfortunately for Jelly, JEXL returns a non-null value for variables with dashes, as in JEXL, null - null == 0. Jelly treats the 0 as a valid value and doesn't go look up an alternative. We could work around this in Jelly if needed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- View this comment: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVEN-581?page=comments#action_23617 --------------------------------------------------------------------- View the issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVEN-581 Here is an overview of the issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: MAVEN-581 Summary: dependency id with '-' will fail overriden process Type: Bug Status: Reopened Priority: Major Original Estimate: Unknown Time Spent: Unknown Remaining: Unknown Project: maven Fix Fors: 1.0-beta-10 1.0.1 Versions: 1.0-beta-10 Assignee: Brett Porter Reporter: Emmanuel Created: Thu, 17 Jul 2003 11:22 AM Updated: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 10:08 PM Environment: W2k Box / Java 1.3.1 Description: Having a dependency containing a '-' will fail the jar overriding process project.xml <dependency> <id>v-c</id> <version>1</version> ... project.properties maven.jar.override = on maven.jar.v-c = c:/myoverridenrepository/v-c-1.jar => the maven jar will try to download v-c-1.jar from ibiblio Same test with <id>vc</id> and maven.jatr.vc = ... works --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
