I am not sure I understand the reluctance to test that POMs are well-formed.
A POM that is not well-formed is worthy of a note at least.
I just wouldn't want a not-well-formed pom (which Maven says is ok for
its purposes) to prevent someone from being able to use a given
artifact as a dependency. I agree that a well-formed test is
reasonable for pom files but would want it to give a WARNING not an
ERROR.
It should be possible to recognize the HTML returned by the "big-three"
repos in the case of an error and display the HTML body or part of it in the
error message.
Which are the "big three"? ;-)
I am not sure but I drive a Nexus.:-)
Perhaps a standard could be agreed upon by the "big-three" to make it easier
for Maven to detect the fact that an error message has been returned and
have all three put out similar messages.
I prefer webserver error messages to return the proper http status
code as they should (*not* http 200), then we wouldn't even have this
discussion.
Good start to a standard!
