Hi Maven Gurus,

I'm really puzzled...   Can someone in the forum explain this to me?

I have a simple pom.xml that defines the a dependency on jsp-impl from the Maven repository: http://download.java.net/maven/2

--------------------------pom.xml-----------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";>
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>maven.test</groupId>
  <artifactId>simple</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version>
  <name>SimpleTest</name>
  <repositories>
      <repository>
          <id>java.net</id>
          <name>Java Net Maven 2 </name>
          <url>http://download.java.net/maven/2</url>
      </repository>
</repositories>
<dependencies>
   <dependency>
      <groupId>org.glassfish.web</groupId>
      <artifactId>jsp-impl</artifactId>
      <version>2.1.3-b17</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Running "mvn install" will fail with the message:

Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/servlet/jsp/jsp-api/2.1.3-b05/jsp-api-2.1.3-b05.jar [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.

Missing:
----------
1) javax.servlet.jsp:jsp-api:jar:2.1.3-b05

Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

Then, install it using the command:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=javax.servlet.jsp -DartifactId=jsp-api -Dversion=2.1.3-b05 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there: mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=javax.servlet.jsp -DartifactId=jsp-api -Dversion=2.1.3-b05 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

Path to dependency:
      1) maven.test:simple:jar:1.0
      2) org.glassfish.web:jsp-impl:jar:2.1.3-b17
      3) javax.servlet.jsp:jsp-api:jar:2.1.3-b05

----------
1 required artifact is missing.

for artifact:
maven.test:simple:jar:1.0

from the specified remote repositories:
central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2),
java.net (http://download.java.net/maven/2)



It's complaining about resolving the artifact jsp-api. But this artifact (javax.servlet.jsp:jsp-api:jar:2.1.3-b05) exists in java.net (http://download.java.net/maven/2/javax/servlet/jsp/jsp-api/2.1.3-b05/). Looks like it's trying to download the artifact from the Central repo (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2) and not even search for it in java.net. The message at the end is not true.

If I explicitly define jsp-api artifact in the pom.xml then it compiles successfully. Is this a bug in Maven? a known issue?
I'm using Maven version 2.2.1 and JDK version 1.6.

Thanks,
Jane
