dependency plugin has trouble recognizing that a dependency is in the repo when
you specify a classifier
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2880
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2880
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Plugins and Lifecycle
Affects Versions: 2.0.5
Reporter: David Jencks
Brian Fox suggested opening this jira after an irc discussion.
I'm trying to manipulate a zip (or tgz) distribution for my own evil purposes.
I installed it in my local maven repo using the command maven suggested:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.roller -DartifactId=roller
-Dversion=3.1-rc6 -Dpackaging=zip -Dfile=roller-war/apache-roller-3.1-rc6.zip
it ended up:
$ ls ~/.m2/repository/org/apache/roller/roller/3.1-rc6/roller-3.1-rc6.zip
/Users/david/.m2/repository/org/apache/roller/roller/3.1-rc6/roller-3.1-rc6.zip
I'm trying to unpack it with the dependency plugin:
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>unpack-distribution</id>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>unpack</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifactItems>
<artifactItem>
<groupId>org.apache.roller</groupId>
<artifactId>roller</artifactId>
<classifier>bin</classifier>
<type>zip</type>
<version>3.1-rc6</version>
</artifactItem>
</artifactItems>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/scratch</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
and maven complains it can't find it:
[INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.
GroupId: org.apache.roller
ArtifactId: roller
Version: 3.1-rc6
Reason: System is offline.
Try downloading the file manually from the project website.
Then, install it using the command:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.roller -DartifactId=roller \
-Dversion=3.1-rc6 -Dpackaging=zip -Dfile=/path/to/file
org.apache.roller:roller:zip:3.1-rc6
It turns out that if I remove the <classifier>bin</classifier> line from the
dependency plugin config then maven can find the file.
