I'm updating to maven 3.9 (from 3.8) and my custom Maven plugin started to fail with the error:
A required class was missing while executing <MY_PLUGIN>: org/eclipse/aether/connector/basic/BasicRepositoryConnectorFactory Part of the functionality of the plugin requires the use of Maven to resolve some dependencies, and I have that implemented in a separate artifact that uses Maven artifacts to mimic Maven's behaviour. The error occurs while setting up the RepositorySystem for the latter, for which I have the DefaultServiceLocator and I need to add BasicRepositoryConnectorFactory as the implementation for RepositoryConnectorFactory. In Maven 3.9 the maven-resolver-connector-basic artifact was set as provided (the PR for the change is https://github.com/apache/maven/pull/732) along with the maven-resolver-uitls, but its package is not exported, so there is no way to access its contents. Any idea on how to overcome this situation? How is the maven-resolver-connector-basic supposed to be used after this change? Thanks in advance, Rodrigo.
