Trygve Laugstol commented on MNG-2816: -------------------------------------- This is a feature, not a bug! ;) Maven doesn't use the schemas to validate in any case, and in addition it allows any element as a way to be flexible so that other tools can add extenstions without breaking maven. > Pom without xsd import is not validated > --------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2816 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2816 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Bootstrap & Build > Affects Versions: 2.0.4 > Reporter: Kristoffer Moum > > I added a dependency to a module a couple of days ago. I did it just a tad > too quickly (copy and paste from dependency management), and forgot to > enclose with the dependency tag, i.e. I had the following structure: > <dependencies> > <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> > <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId> > </dependencies> > So - what happened when I did an "mvn install" the dependency was ignored > rather than producing an error message as the pom was actually valid xml. It > would be nice to have some defaulting of xsd if none was specified. -- 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
