I have to admit that I'm lost as to what exactly you're trying to do but I've added a few comments below.

For example: Exactly, so add the type. A lot of projects don't do what? > 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. Meaning that they want the JAR. Why would that affect you? Have you actually tried it? :-) <OT>The artifact id is casbah_2.8.1? And then the version is 2.0.1? Strange.</OT> > 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"? Maven isn't telepathic. How is it to know exactly which artifact (.jar, -sources.jar, -javadoc.jar, .war, .pom, etcetera) you want? Why do you want the POM? Are you sure it's what you need? Just to be clear, if you depend on a particular JAR, its POM is downloaded too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
