systemPath for system-scope dependencies missing in release pom ---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-367 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-367 Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-7 Environment: linux-x64, jdk1.6 Reporter: Andy Martin The following dependency exists in the project POM: <dependency> <groupId>sun.jdk</groupId> <artifactId>tools</artifactId> <version>1.6.0</version> <systemPath>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</systemPath> <scope>system</scope> </dependency> This comes through to the release POM as: <dependency> <groupId>sun.jdk</groupId> <artifactId>tools</artifactId> <version>1.6.0</version> <scope>system</scope> </dependency> Which results in a compile error as system scope requires a systemPath value. This occurs on the project with the system dependency as well as all projects which have that component as a dependency. What is not clear in the code is that createReleaseDependencies() uses project.getArtifacts() rather than project.getDependencies(), and artifacts don't have a systemPath property. I have experimented with code to scan the dependencies for the Dependency instance matching the Artifact and getting systemPath from that, but that approach only works where it is a direct dependency, not where it is inherited. -- 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
