Brett Porter commented on MNG-3881: ----------------------------------- are the properties actually specified in the plugin POM, or do you set them on the command line when installing? The POM properties are self-contained, they should not apply to dependencies, so POMs in the repository need to be completely resolvable on their own. I'm inclined to say this is not a bug and refer to MARTIFACT-32 as a solution. > Properties in plugin poms are not resolved. > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-3881 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3881 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Plugins and Lifecycle > Affects Versions: 2.1.0-M1 > Environment: Mac ox s > Reporter: Derek Clarkson > > I'm testing a plugin I have written to run JUnit 4.x tests. The pom for this > plug uses properties to specify the versions of dependencies. ie. > <dependency> > <groupId>junit</groupId> > <artifactId>junit</artifactId> > <version>${junit.version}</version> > </dependency> > <dependency> > <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> > <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId> > <version>${slf4j.version}</version> > </dependency> > After compiling and installing the plugin into my local repository, I then > attempt to use in in another project. The project compiles correcly, but then > fails when attempting to resolve the dependecies of my plugin. The faiures > appear to be the plugins dependencies which are versioned by properties. > HEre's an example: > 6) org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:${slf4j.version} > Try downloading the file manually from the project website. > Then, install it using the command: > mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.slf4j -DartifactId=slf4j-api > -Dversion=${slf4j.version} -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file > Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file > there: > mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.slf4j -DartifactId=slf4j-api > -Dversion=${slf4j.version} -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] > -DrepositoryId=[id] > Path to dependency: > 1) dhc.maven2:maven-junit4x-plugin:maven-plugin:0.0.3-SNAPSHOT > 2) org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:${slf4j.version} > I also see stack traces like this: > Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: > http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/reporting/maven-reporting-impl/${maven.reporting.version}/maven-reporting-impl-${maven.reporting.version}.jar > at > sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:1239) > at > org.apache.maven.wagon.providers.http.LightweightHttpWagon.fillInputData(LightweightHttpWagon.java:83) > ... 35 more > [DEBUG] Unable to download the artifact from any repository > And .... > 7 required artifacts are missing. > for artifact: > dhc.maven2:maven-junit4x-plugin:maven-plugin:0.0.3-SNAPSHOT > from the specified remote repositories: > central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2) > at > org.apache.maven.artifact.resolver.DefaultArtifactResolver.resolveTransitively(DefaultArtifactResolver.java:482) > at > org.apache.maven.artifact.resolver.DefaultArtifactResolver.resolveTransitively(DefaultArtifactResolver.java:394) > at > org.apache.maven.artifact.resolver.DefaultArtifactResolver.resolveTransitively(DefaultArtifactResolver.java:337) > at > org.apache.maven.plugin.DefaultPluginManager.getPluginArtifacts(DefaultPluginManager.java:436) > at > org.apache.maven.plugin.DefaultPluginManager.addPlugin(DefaultPluginManager.java:279) > at > org.apache.maven.plugin.DefaultPluginManager.verifyVersionedPlugin(DefaultPluginManager.java:211) > at > org.apache.maven.plugin.DefaultPluginManager.verifyPlugin(DefaultPluginManager.java:186) > at > org.apache.maven.plugin.loader.DefaultPluginLoader.loadPlugin(DefaultPluginLoader.java:79) > ... 20 more > Plaing around with this I found that if I go into the repository and edit the > pom file to specify the dependency version then that dependency resolves. > From this I'm inclined to think that when resolving dependencies of plugins, > that the plugin's pom is not being processed to look for properties to be > inserted. -- 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
