• Key: JS2-164

Environment

Windows 2K, Maven 1.0.1, jdk-1.4.2, tomcat-4.1
Internet accessthrough proxy.

Description

Following the instructions on the getting-started page, I ran maven allClean allBuild, it first failed with the following message:
  Attempting to download pluto-1.0.1-rc1.jar.
  WARNING: Failed to download pluto-1.0.1-rc1.jar.

  BUILD FAILED
  File...... C:\usr\jetspeed2\maven.xml
  Element... maven:reactor
  Line...... 133
  Column.... 40
  The build cannot continue because of the following unsatisfied dependency:

  pluto-1.0.1-rc1.jar

After I downloaded pluto-1.0.1-rc1.jar and placed into the repository, I again run maven allClean allBuild, which resulted in the following:
  Attempting to download myfaces-jsf-api-1.0.8.jar.
  WARNING: Failed to download myfaces-jsf-api-1.0.8.jar.
  Attempting to download myfaces-1.0.8.jar.
  WARNING: Failed to download myfaces-1.0.8.jar.
  Attempting to download myfaces-impl-1.0.8.jar.
  WARNING: Failed to download myfaces-impl-1.0.8.jar.
  Attempting to download myfaces-extensions-1.0.8.jar.
  WARNING: Failed to download myfaces-extensions-1.0.8.jar.

  BUILD FAILED
  File...... C:\usr\jetspeed2\maven.xml
  Element... maven:reactor
  Line...... 133
  Column.... 40
  The build cannot continue because of the following unsatisfied dependencies:

  myfaces-jsf-api-1.0.8.jar
  myfaces-1.0.8.jar
  myfaces-impl-1.0.8.jar
  myfaces-extensions-1.0.8.jar

Since I cannot find these jar files anywhere on the internet I cannot build JetSpeed2 from the sources

I'm also having this problem. I'm beginning to think it's a Maven bug. The myfaces JARs ARE present on the http://www.bluesunrise.com/maven/ repository, but for some strange reason, Maven is defaulting back to only ibiblio in the list of remote repositories.

In order to illustrate this, I installed the JARs manually from bluesunrise and it worked. I then added a maven.xml file in the portals-bridges directory with the following content :

<project default="allBuild"
         xmlns:j="jelly:core"
         xmlns:maven="jelly:maven"
         xmlns:ant="jelly:ant">

  <goal name="display-repos">
    <echo>${maven.repo.remote}</echo>
  </goal>
  
</project>

The result of the variable display is the following :

display-repos:
    [echo] http://www.ibiblio.org/maven

I did check my ${user.home}/build.properties but I don't have any remote repositories defined. Also Maven seems to include the following properties files :

Using userBuildPropertiesFile: C:\Documents and Settings\Serge Huber\build.properties
Using projectPropertiesFile: C:\java\technologies\jakarta-cvs\jakarta-jetspeed-2\portals-bridges\myfaces\project.properties
Using projectBuildPropertiesFile: C:\java\technologies\jakarta-cvs\jakarta-jetspeed-2\portals-bridges\myfaces\build.properties
Using userBuildPropertiesFile: C:\Documents and Settings\Serge Huber\build.properties
Using projectPropertiesFile: C:\java\technologies\jakarta-cvs\jakarta-jetspeed-2\project.properties
Using projectBuildPropertiesFile: C:\java\technologies\jakarta-cvs\jakarta-jetspeed-2\build.properties

I've looked in all those files (those that exist that is), and apart from the root-level project.properties I didn't find another definition of the maven.repo.remote variable. This is very strange.

This is the result of a bug in Maven 1.0.1.
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVEN-1501

[Carlos Sanchez]

Brett is right, its a Maven 1.0.1 bug

As a workaround you can run maven with
-Dmaven.repo.remote=http://www.bluesunrise.com/maven/,http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/,http://dist.codehaus.org/,http://cvs.apache.org/repository

From Dr Wes Munsil:
For me, adding this to my top-level project.properties file seemed to make everything happy again:

  maven.property.inheritance=true

Not a Jetspeed-2 problem.
