Jeff Cadow commented on MNG-4351:
---------------------------------
Thanks, Brett, for the tip on enabling checksum verification. I'll play around
with it and see if I want to use it at all times.
The -C and -c arguments are optional, though, and I think most users expect
programs to detect and report garbage-y input (and then fail if not
recoverable) by default. At the least I'd like the method that parses
~/.m2/repository/org/apache/apache/4/apache-4.pom at build time to return a
critical error that is reported whether or not I've specified the -e option.

> 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.
