Hi Brett,

Thanks for the quick response.
Do you have an Issue Tracker number so I can follow-up on this?

Thanks,
Jane

This seems to be a bug in Maven with the way the version ranges are being handled. You can work around it by declaring the JSP API dependency directly in your POM.

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
