Brett Porter commented on MNG-4044:
-----------------------------------
Wagon is correctly throwing a TransferFailedException - in 2.1.0-M2-SNAPSHOT,
you can use -X to reveal the error "Specified destination directory cannot be
created". The problem is that Maven is tossing out the message from that
exception in the resolution process.
> Misleading error messages when local repository is not writable

> When the local repository is not writable, the error messages when
> downloading an artifact does not allow to pin down the issue quickly.
> Maven only reports that the artifact cannot be downloaded, and the root cause
> is displayed as :
> Caused by: org.apache.maven.wagon.ResourceDoesNotExistException: Unable to
> download the artifact from any repository
> No message in the trace indicates a problem with the local repository.
> The full trace with a clean local repository is attached.
