> Based on a discussion on the users list [1], [Maven 3 has changed how it
> resolves artifacts from local
> repositories|https://cwiki.apache.org/MAVEN/maven-3x-compatibility-notes.html#Maven3.xCompatibilityNotes-ResolutionfromLocalRepository].
> Unfortunately, when "conflicts" arise (GAV is cached in local repo, but
> restricted to some repository ids, and actual POM has no matching repository
> id declared), Maven just tells the user that the artifact could not be
> resolved.
> This leads to confusion from users who find the .jar files in their local
> repository without knowing this restriction feature: they just get frustrated
> and complain that "maven sucks".
> It would be good if Maven was updated with some improved error messages along
> the lines of:
> "The (GAV) artifact was found in your local repository, but came from remote
> repository "xxx": either configure this in your pom with (insert sample XML
> block in error message), or in your "yyy" mirror."
> The "mirror" section of the error message should be included -if- the current
> ~/.m2/settings.xml declares a mirror. By improving the messages here we can
> help the users move on to building software, rather than pulling out their
> hair :)
