Just checking quickly, but is the --offline switch still problematic in 2.0.1? I applied a patch that fixed the missing pom problem (or so I thought), and this should have made it into the release...I'll need to look at it again if not.

Thanks,

John

Does anyone know how to work around this??
Previously, we'd written a dummy into the local repository, but this
meant that if you then went and corrected it remotely it didn't get
picked up. We need an alternative solution there.


I think the answer to this is to mark the dummy POM  -- or to simply put a
touch file in the the local repo -- i.e. no dummy POM at all -- just an
indicator that no POM was found. I definitely do not think you should look
every time. It makes the builds way too slow  -- rediscovering what it just
learned the last go around.. Maybe treat them like SNAPSHOTs??

BTW: the -offline switch is not working for this. When I use that switch
in
this situation the build simply dies.
I recall seeing this too. I'm not sure if it found its way to JIRA.


It is pretty easy to reproduce. Jason witnessed it when we were hanging out
last week ;-)

BTW: there is another wrinkle to this. If I was able to search my m1 repo
first, then m2 should see that an artifact exists and then stop
searching
for its corresponding POM. This is because you want it to use this
artifact,
and not mix it up with a POM somewhere down the repo food-chain.
This makes sense - so you want to tie the resolution of the POM to the
same JAR? I thought this was how it behaved (POM first, with the
repository remembered to get the JAR). I'm not sure how you are seeing
this exactly.


I actually saw an issue with this today. I have an m1, legacy-style repo,
so, of course, there are no POMs in it. The artifact I was after was
available in the first repo, but no POM was -- so m2 kept on searching -- it
then found a m2-style POM for this artifact. This POM did not match, and in
some cases  it caused issues.

E.g.  I had axis-1.3.jar in my local m1 repo, but it found a POM on ibiblio.
Or activation-1.0.2.jar which was in jaf/jars, but it found a POM there that
said it had moved.

I ended up having to delete portions of my local repo, and then forced it to
overload "central" -- after doing this it worked.
