Description

when passing a Project object to #transitive it matches the Project clause in 'case' , it then calls itself recursively with the packages of the project. these fall in the 'when Rake::Task' clause. If they are "spec" packages, the method again recursively calls itself. this time the clause is /([^:]+

{2,4}

/ which then tries to load the pom from the repository. there's no reason why there will be a pom there. if the packages are 'file' packages, they are used as-is.

in both cases, there is no transitivity of dependencies.

suggestion:

• add :project attribute to package tasks
• in Rake::Task clause, if the artifact responds to :project, then call recursively with the project
• in Project clause, add the packages to the result set and call recursively with spec.compile.dependencies (which can then be artifacts or packages)
