FWIW, I've run some tests locally and confirm it is the same for (non-reactor) dependencies when you don't have a snapshot repository declared in your pom hierarchy or settings.xml Use "mvn help:effective-pom" to check as a lot of corporate/oss organizational setups will declare a snapshot repository somewhere, otherwise Maven would not know where to fetch non-reactor snapshots. PS. note that an anaemic repository entry with just an id and url is still considered a snapshot repository because the default setting for the snapshots and releases flags is true unless configured otherwise. > /Anders > > On Thu, Oct 3, 2013 at 12:08 PM, NRO <nourredine.roui...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I understand your point, but the explaination you provide is based on how >> it >> is implemented...and not on how it is specified. >> >> The fact that maven can resolve the same artifact when it is a dependency >> means that it is not a limitation but an implementation issue. >> >> That looks bad to me to have to add a fake repository to have Maven resolve >> the parent SNAPSHOT. >> >> Note that in my example the foo repository does not exist at all neither >> http://foo URL. >> It is juste a fake declaration in the settings.xml. >> >> This means that maven at the end, failover and still uses the mirror to go >> to Nexus and retrieve the SNAPSHOT parent. >> >> Why (repo!=mirror) applies to Parent and not to project dependencies ? >> >> At the end we added the fake repo declaration to all our settings.xml, but >> that's not very elegant, but it works. >> >> >> >> -- >> View this message in context: >> http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Parent-SNAPSHOT-not-resolved-Maven-2-2-1-3-0-4-Nexus-repo-tp5772374p5772379.html >> Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
