Dirk Olmes updated MNG-3052:
----------------------------
Attachment: InheritLegacyRepo.zip
This example does not exactly reproduce the described setup but illustrates the
same effect. The toplevel pom defines a repository, module 'foo' defines two
other repositories and module 'bar' depends on 'foo' and on artifacts that can
be resolved from bar's repository.
The point is here that if you define a dependency you should be able to resolve
transient dependencies through the inherited repositories.
> Transitive Dependency not found when repo is not listed

> Key: MNG-3052

> Project: Maven 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Artifacts and Repositories
> Affects Versions: 2.0.5
> Reporter: Micah Whitacre
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: InheritLegacyRepo.zip

>
> I have seen the situation where a build fails because a project has a
> transitive dependency that only exists in a repository not listed by my
> project. An example of this is I have Projects A, B, and C. Where A depends
> on B, and B on C. B has been released to remote repo 1, and C has been
> released to remote repo 2. Since A just directly depends on B it only lists
> remote repo 1 in its POM. However when I try to build project A the build
> fail because it can't resolve its transitive dependency C in any of the
> dependencies it is checking (repo 1 only).
> It is my understanding that for project A I shouldn't have to list the remote
> repos to resolve transitive dependencies. I should only have to list the
> repos to get to B and Maven then should use the POM of B to resolve C.
> Is that not correct?
