Noa Resare created MCOMPILER-223:
------------------------------------
Summary: Move to a non-ancient maven-toolchain dependency
Key: MCOMPILER-223
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-223
Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Noa Resare
Priority: Minor
It turns out that the maven-toolchain-1.0.jar available form maven central has
some serious issues resulting in it not being extractable by the oracle
provided jar tool (the toplevel directories in the archives are empty files and
not directories, which breaks extraction)
Some tools (IntelliJ in my case) expect to be able to extract jarfiles to be
able to see the contents.
Looking into the maven-toolchain artifact it seems like it has moved into
maven-core for 3.x versions, but for 2.x versions it kind of tracks the maven
release.
Because of this, I propose that we use $mavenVersion for the maven-toolchain
dependency (2.0.9 in our case) which seems to do the right thing and works
around my broken-jar-problem nicely.
