Chuck Daniels commented on MECLIPSE-174: ---------------------------------------- Looks like this has regressed in version 2.5 of this plugin. The mvn-eclipse-cache.properties file is empty (except for header comment) after running eclipse:eclipse with downloadSources and downloadJavadocs set to true. Now every run of eclipse:eclipse attempts to download sources and javadocs since cache file contains no entries. > 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 > Assignee: 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
