Hi, I am pretty new to maven, so this is probably a silly question. My problem is I can't fetch any dependencies of type "POM". For example, if I try to compile:
<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>test.pom</groupId> <artifactId>some-pom</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId> <artifactId>jetty-parent</artifactId> <version>7</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </project> I get: [INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Building some-pom 1.0-SNAPSHOT [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 0.215s [INFO] Finished at: Fri Feb 04 16:53:00 EST 2011 [INFO] Final Memory: 3M/121M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project some-pom: Could not resolve dependencies for project test.pom:some-pom:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Failure to find org.mortbay.jetty:jetty-parent:jar:7 in http://repo1.maven.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1] org.mortbay.jetty:jetty-parent is a parent pom file, but for some reason maven tries to find org.mortbay.jetty:jetty-parent:jar. If I add <type>pom</type>, it is working fine, but the trouble is lot of projects don't do that. For example: http://www.scalablesolutions.se/akka/repository/se/scalablesolutions/akka/akka-persistence-mongo/1.0-RC3/akka-persistence-mongo-1.0-RC3.pom is referencing: <dependency> <groupId>com.mongodb.casbah</groupId> <artifactId>casbah_2.8.1</artifactId> <version>2.0.1</version> <scope>compile</scope> </dependency> without specifying the type. Which means I can't reference akka-persistence-mongo, because I will get a similar error. I tried with Maven 3.0.1 and 3.0.2. Is not maven supposed to look at the POM file for the type instead of assuming a default of "jar"? Thank you in advance for any help! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
