Prevent copying of proxy config script to pom file (with XML validation?)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4351
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4351
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Settings
Affects Versions: 2.2.1
Environment: Cygwin on WXP Pro
Reporter: Jeff Cadow
Priority: Minor
Attachments: apache-4.pom.bad
Because I screwed up my settings.xml file, Maven copied the contents of my
network's proxy configuration script to
repository/org/apache/apache/4/apache-4.pom. It failed to find everything after
that.
To get maven to work in my proxy-protected network, I added the following to my
settings.xml file:
<proxies>
<proxy>
<active>true</active>
<protocol>http</protocol>
<host>proxy</host>
<port>8083</port>
</proxy>
</proxies>
That was dumb - port 8083 is where my office's proxy configuration script is. I
should have used port 8080.
But Maven's behavior was kinda sloppy. It quietly copied the proxy
configuration script, which looks nothing like XML, to
~/.m2/repository/org/apache/apache/4/apache-4.pom. I've attached the result
(after munging the host names) as apache-4.pom.bad.
Maven could at least check whether retrieved files meant to be XML are actually
valid XML and issue an error immediately when they're not. Schema validation
would be a nice 2nd step of safeguarding.
