Hi John, Yes, I have the tags <repositories> and <pluginRepositories> configured. Actually, the pom is downloaded. And I made a custom plugin, deployed it to our internal repo and everything works fine. I would greatly appreciate some insight into the maven-metadata and maven-artifact stuff if it exists, before I starting digging into the code :-).
Here is what I understood/grabbed from docs : - the maven-metadata-xxxx.xml in a group directory contains informations about plugins in that group : the prefix for the plugin and the version to use. The xxxx matches repositories ids which means that the information corresponds to that repository: if I use the corresponding pluginrepo, then artifact will use that metadata ; - the maven-metadata-xxxx.xml in an artifact's base directory contains information about the versions of a plugin : - the current (latest ?) version of the artifact ; - the current <release> version and the current <latest> version (??) ; - the various versions available in the directory ; - the timestamp this file was last updated (for updates management policy ?). - the maven-metadata-xxxx.xml in a versionned artifact's directory also contains updates information for the version this directory contains (??). I suspect this is only true for snapshots (??). Questions : - what is the scenario for snapshots ? - is there something special about naming a verisons X.Y.Z-SNAPSHOT ? I am puzzled. regards, -- Arnaud Bailly, Dr. - Ingénieur de Recherche NORSYS 1, rue de la Cense des Raines ZAC du Moulin 59710 ENNEVELIN Tel : (33) 3 28 76 56 76 Mob : (33) 6 17 12 19 78 Fax : (33) 3 28 76 57 00 Web : http://www.norsys.fr --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
