Michael Osipov commented on MNG-7373: ------------------------------------- I think the first problem here is that you did wrong and changed the packaging type of a plugin from {{maven-plugin}} to {{pom}} which leads to undefined behavior. The guide is horribly outdated. I think what likely should be done, independent of the relocation is that if the packaging fo the plugin is not what expected it should yield a warn/error. > Maven should not attempt to download the jar when <packaging>pom</packaging> > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-7373 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7373 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: S L > Priority: Major > > Hello, > maybe a corner case of what exactly should be part of a "relocation pom" > ([https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-relocation.html]), but I created > a release just consisting of the relocation-info > ([https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/pl/project13/maven/git-commit-id-plugin/4.9.9/git-commit-id-plugin-4.9.9.pom]) > as type `<packaging>pom</packaging>` (since I only wanted to publish the > relocation information). > Using this depdendency.e.g. via: > {code} > <build> > <plugins> > <plugin> > <groupId>pl.project13.maven</groupId> > <artifactId>git-commit-id-plugin</artifactId> > <version>4.9.9</version> > </plugin> > </plugins> > </build> > {code} > yields in the incorrect attempt of downloading a JAR-File from the new > repository location: > {code} > [INFO] Building Git Commit Id Plugin Maven Mojo Debugging 0.0.3-SNAPSHOT > [1/3] > [INFO] --------------------------------[ pom > ]--------------------------------- > Downloading from central-secure: > https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/io/github/git-commit-id/git-commit-id-maven-plugin/4.9.9/git-commit-id-maven-plugin-4.9.9.pom > [WARNING] The POM for > io.github.git-commit-id:git-commit-id-maven-plugin:jar:4.9.9 is missing, no > dependency information available > Downloading from central-secure: > https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/io/github/git-commit-id/git-commit-id-maven-plugin/4.9.9/git-commit-id-maven-plugin-4.9.9.jar > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [INFO] Reactor Summary for Git Commit Id Plugin Maven Mojo Debugging > 0.0.3-SNAPSHOT: > [INFO] > [INFO] Git Commit Id Plugin Maven Mojo Debugging ..........
