variables not resolved

[Wolfgang.Winter]

In my pom I declare a distributionManagement repository on a central server 
with <url>${remoteRepository}</url>. This variable is defined in the 
settings.xml. The variable is resolved correctly on deploy goal.

In the same pom I declare the same repository for dependency checking, also 
with the variable ${remoteRepository}. However, on goal clean install, the 
variable is not resolved: 

[INFO] snapshot net.atos.wlp:parent-pom:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: checking for updates 
from internal

[WARNING] repository metadata for: 'snapshot 
net.atos.wlp:parent-pom:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT' could not be retrieved from repository: 
internal due to an error: Unsupported Protocol: '': Cannot find wagon which 
supports the requested protocol: 

[INFO] Repository 'internal' will be blacklisted

 

Why is the same variable resolved in one case and in the other not?

 

I am running maven 2.0.8, Eclipse with Sonatype Maven plugin versions from 
17.7.2008

 

Here is a part of my pom:

  <repositories>

     <repository>

        <releases>

           <enabled>true</enabled>

           <updatePolicy>daily</updatePolicy>

           <checksumPolicy>warn</checksumPolicy>

        </releases>

        <snapshots>

           <enabled>true</enabled>

           <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>

           <checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy>

        </snapshots>

        <id>internal</id>

        <name>ftp Repository on deacr001</name>

         <url>${remoteRepository}</url>

        <layout>default</layout>

     </repository>

  </repositories>

  

   <distributionManagement>

      <repository>

         <id>internal</id>

         <url>${remoteRepository}</url>

      </repository>

   </distributionManagement>
