I am trying to download all dependencies from a pom file. My steps are: 1. delete .m2/repository 2. mvn dependency:tree pom.xml
Everything looks good, however as I browse the .m2 directory I can see that for some artifacts maven only downloaded the pom file, and did not download the associated jar. I then repeat the process on another pom file. This time the jar file is present for that same artifact. There are multiple artifacts that this happens on, but for troubleshooting I'm just focusing on oro-2.0.8. Neither of my poms declare oro, so this is a sub-dependency somewhere down the chain. The process can be reproduced every time, and I can see from the output that the oro-2.0.8 pom file is downloaded from the same location (local artifactory) in both cases. Does anyone know why maven would download a pom file, and then not attempt to download the associated jar? Thanks, Dan
