Rajiv Jain commented on MNG-5995: --------------------------------- Why do you say that? To build the project I ran mvn -Drat.skip=true clean package and mvn -Drat.skip=true validate. -Drat.skip=true was required so that I avoid the RATException. Have I missed anything? What else am I missing? > Maven itself cannot run without maven-compat > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-5995 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5995 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Bootstrap & Build, core > Affects Versions: 3.3.9 > Reporter: Robert Scholte > Priority: Critical > > For all the 3.0 versions of the maven-plugins we require to not depend on > maven-compat anymore. However, the Maven distribution still requires > maven-compat. A simple proof: remove {{lib/maven-compat-3.x.y}} and execute > {{mvn validate}}. > You'll get the following exception: > {noformat} > No implementation for org.apache.maven.repository.RepositorySystem was bound. > {noformat} > Reason: there's only one implementation: o.a.m.r.l.LegacyRepositorySystem, > which is part of maven-compat. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
