[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-174?page=comments#action_78819 ] Aaron Digulla commented on MECLIPSE-174: ----------------------------------------
Can't you reuse the standard maven2 cache? I would prefer if the command line maven and the plugin would agree on what has been tried and what hasn't. Also I don't think the target dir is a good place for this information. What happens when I close a project? Why not put this into the workspace instead? > Plugin doesn't cache "source not available" status > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MECLIPSE-174 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-174 > Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.2 > Reporter: Aaron Digulla > Assigned To: fabrizio giustina > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.3 > > > When the m2 plugin reads the POM files and "Download sources" is set in the > Eclipse preferences, it tries to download the source every time. > Instead, it should cache the "source not available" status somewhere (just > like Maven itself does) and not print thousands of error messages (Unable to > download the artifact from any repository). > This also delays the build considerably (opening network connections) and > real errors are drowned. -- 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
