Maven3 reports warnings about POM problems in very spurious way
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4491
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4491
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Errors
Affects Versions: 3.0-alpha-5
Reporter: Tamás Cservenák
In relation to issue MNG-4490, Maven3 reported the following on CLI:
{noformat}
[WARNING] Invalid artifact metadata for
org.sonatype.nexus:nexus-proxy:jar:1.4.1-SNAPSHOT, transitive dependencies (if
any) will not be available, enable debug logging for more details
{noformat}
This is due to the issue above (the branch i worked on completely revamped the
dependencies in aggregator poms, hence the module pom became "invalid", since
it contained dependencies that would be "filled in" from dependency management
section, but they were not, hence by Maven3 they were considered "invalid").
What I was thinking, that maybe we should distinguish between "corrupt" POMs in
way like:
* syntactical broken, which is like unparseable POM (usually corrupted during
transport or proxy issues)
* semantically broken -- this is what Maven3 tried to tell me -- a POM that was
not "correct" in validation sense (in this case, depepndency had no "version"
declared)
