Karl Heinz Marbaise commented on MDEP-623:
------------------------------------------
Sorry to say that but you seemed to be misunderstanding the concept here. The
build only takes binaries (jar's) as dependencies and will never use source
packages nor download them cause they are not needed. If you like to debug use
the IDE which can simply being configured to do so..
So coming to your point about: Based on your example pom you have told Maven to
download the sources so as [~michael-o] already described: Where is the issue?
Just do not download source packages during a build where it is never
needed...which means remove the usage of maven-dependency-plugin as in your
example...
Another question: Why are trying to download the source package during your
build? If you have repository manager in your company which I hope you have
this is useless. The first time someone will try to get them via the IDE they
will be downloaded to the repository manager and cached there..during the build
of your product they are simply not needed...
So the final answer would be: Removed the maven-dependency-plugin with the
request to download source packages during your build...except you have other
reasons which you haven't expressed yet...
This will drop down your build time...

> Key: MDEP-623
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-623
> Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: sources
> Reporter: Jim Showalter
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: pom.xml
>
>
> Sources jars are optional, so Maven has no way of knowing if a project
> decided to publish a sources jar. Even if the code and released jar hasn't
> changed since 1998, somebody might edit the build pom to generate a sources
> jar.
> This causes Maven to attempt to fetch non-existent sources jars in perpetuity.
> Maven waits several seconds when attempting to fetch a sources jar before
> giving up.
> We have 142 sourceless jars on our build path.
> The wait time multiplied by 142 winds up adding 11 minutes to our builds.
> We don't want to shut off sources jars, because, when they exist, developers
> use them to step through code. But we don't want Maven to keep trying to
> download sources jars we know don't exist and are pretty sure will never
> exist.
> Something like a section in settings.xml for ignoreSourcesJars that allowed
> us to list the ones to ignore would be great.
> I'm happy to help with this if someone can point me to where in the code a
> change like this needs to be made.
