old jboss repo url gives problems if hardcoded in pom
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-5128
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5128
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.0.3
Reporter: erik romson
Priority: Minor
When I moved over to maven 3. The build kept failing because it kept trying to
download artifacts from http://repository.jboss.org/maven2. This is an old repo
that doesn't exist anymore (replaced by a nexus one).
I finally figured out that for example in the pom for
org/springframework/spring-parent/3.0.2.RELEASE/spring-parent-3.0.2.RELEASE.pom
it has a hardcoded
<repository>
<id>jboss</id>
<name>JBoss Repository</name>
<url>http://repository.jboss.org/maven2</url>
<snapshots><enabled>false</enabled></snapshots>
</repository>
Then I had to overload this in my settings.xml
<repository>
<id>jboss</id>
<url>http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public/</url>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
<updatePolicy>daily</updatePolicy>
</snapshots>
</repository>
I had to do this with 4 of them with different repository ids. I realize that
it is bad manners by the developers to hardcode repos in the pom but on the
other hand, it should be possible to handle this better in maven (which I
haven't found). Possibly some better logging because this was an extremely hard
thing to find.
