>
> Based on a discussion on the users list [1], Maven 3 has changed how it
> resolves artifacts from custom repositories. Unfortunately, when conflicts
> arise ( GAV is in local repo, but POM has no matching repository id declared
> ) Maven just tells the user that the artifact could not be resolved.
> This leads to confusion from users who find the .jar files in their local
> repository, and they just get frustrated and complain that "maven sucks".
> It would be good if Maven was updated with some improved error messages along
> the lines of:
> "The {GAV} artifact was found in your local repository, but came from the
> undeclared repository "xxx", either configure this in your pom with {insert
> sample XML block in error message}, or in your "yyy" mirror."
> The "mirror" section of the error message should be included -if- the current
> ~/.m2/settings.xml declares a mirror. By improving the messages here we can
> help the users move on to building software, rather than pulling out their
> hair :)
