Dan Tran closed MDEP-162. ------------------------- Resolution: Won't Fix Assignee: Dan Tran (was: Brian Fox) even though url format is valid for localRepository settings, but I dont think it is worth for use to do the extra mile to support this since it is very uncommon usage. > localRepository as file URL in settings.xml makes unpacking dependencies > fail: expanding into null > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MDEP-162 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-162 > Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: unpack-dependencies > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Environment: Windows XP > Reporter: Heiko Selber > Assignee: Dan Tran > Priority: Minor > Attachments: expanding_into_null.txt > > > I specified the localRepository in settings.xml like this: > <localRepository>file:///C:/.m2/repository</localRepository> > Using a file URL is apparently valid for artifacts which are only downloaded. > However, when a dependency is to be expanded to .unpacked-modules, a file URL > leads to failure. > The dependency is unpacked to the directory where mvn was started. > The console output shows this line: > [INFO] Expanding: > c:\.m2\repository\com\company\project\activemq-cpp\2.1.3_02\activemq-cpp-2.1.3_02-win32.zip > into null > Debug output is attached, look for outputDirectory. > The problem here is an inconsistency in treating a file URL; it is correctly > used by some modules, but incorrectly by others. > Possible solutions: > 1. Accept file URLs everywhere (preferred) > 2. Don't accept file URLs anywhere and fail cleanly when file URL is > encountered > 3.
