----------------------------------------
Summary: detect self references in POM and fail fast
Key: MNG-6123
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6123
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Bootstrap & Build, Dependencies
Affects Versions: 3.3.9
Environment: Oracle JDK 1.8.0_111 on Linux 4.8 x64
Reporter: Gregor B. Rosenauer
Priority: Minor
Maven does not detect self references in a POM and tries to download the
artifact it is about to build, which makes no sense and should result in an
early error and abort of the build.
E.g. pseudo POM:
{code}
<groupId>org.my.acme</groupId>
<artifactId>my-module</artifactId>
<version>1.2.3</version>
<dependencies>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>my-module</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
<dependency>
<dependencies>
{code}
Maven tries to download my-module.jar but obviously fails...
