[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2368?page=all ] Brett Porter closed MNG-2368: -----------------------------
Assign To: Brett Porter Resolution: Duplicate Fix Version: (was: 2.1) > Executing a goal that doesn't need a pom but that need some extensions is > impossible. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2368 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2368 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Bug > Components: Settings > Versions: 2.0.4 > Reporter: Alexandre Poitras > Assignee: Brett Porter > > > There is no way to specify extensions in settings.xml. This is a problem when > you want to execute a goal without a pom but that need an extension. One > basic case is archetype:create when the archetype is located on a ftp > repository. At the moment, you need to perform the command using a fake pom > declaring the extension. In my opinion, this is a big gotcha for novice users. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
