I'm posting this thread, even though I can pretty much guarantee that I'm not going to be able to muster the effort to act on it.
Sitting over at mojo is a wagon-maven-plugin. It wants to enumerate all the artifacts in a repo. It tries to do this by walking the repo as a directory tree. Sadly for it, the wagon protocol is really not sufficient. I think. If you ask a wagon to list the contents at a path, it lists *anything*, whether it has anything to do with maven or not. It does not look at any metadata. The mojo tries to deal with all this by assuming that a URL ending with "/" will only succeed through 'resourceExists' if it is, indeed, a directory. Not a good assumption, as it turns out. To make this all really work, it seems to me that either the wagons have to have a concept of 'directory', or they need to be stricter in filtering returned information. Or I'm confused, or we don't care. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
