If POM's parent is not availabe in local repository then DefaultProjectBuilder is unable to resolve this parent while POM build -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-5094 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5094 Project: Maven 2 & 3 Issue Type: Bug Components: Artifacts and Repositories Affects Versions: 3.0.3 Environment: Linux, Using maven 3.0.3 apis to build a MavenProject from a POM file via DefaultProjectBuilder. Reporter: amaresh mourya I created a maven project via "mvn archetype:generate" with selection item no as 3. Project I created was abc:xyz:1.0:jar. I am using build( File pomFile, ProjectBuildingRequest request ) method of DefaultProjectBuilder which returns ProjectBuildingResult containing MavenProject of POM file. Here is parent section of POM <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <parent> <groupId>com.cedarsoft</groupId> <artifactId>open</artifactId> <version>4.0.2</version> </parent> <groupId>abc</groupId> <artifactId>xyz</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> --- </project> Problem: My local repository doesn't contain com.cedarsoft:open:4.0.2. So while building with this build method I was expecting it to download parent (com.cedarsoft:open:4.0.2) and move ahead with the building work, but it didn't happen. This used to happen with maven 2.2.1 apis using DefaultMavenProjectBuilder. I debugged and found that while resolving parent (com.cedarsoft:open:4.0.2) repositories list is empty whereas it should provide Central repository from Super POM to resolve this parent artifact. This used to happen with maven 2.2.1 apis What I did to avoid this : Either I add central repository in my POM or add Central repository in ProjectBuildingRequest. So I think this is a bug of maven 3.0.3 where its unable to pass central repository while resolving artifacts. -- 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
