Description

I used Maven for the longest time on projects. Maven could download all the artifacts needed for my current project. I decided to upgrade to Buildr. I first noticed that Buildr could not download all the artifacts that Maven could, even using the same Maven Repositories. I noticed that most of these discrepancies are caused by errors in the artifact coordinates. Sometimes on the repository, the format of the artifact will bt 'bundle' instead of 'jar'. I have fixed that on a few artifacts.

However, if the artifact as many dependencies, that causes a major problem with Buildr.

Try to download ActiveMQ artifact with Buildr. It gives you this coordinates which will not download.

'org.apache.activemq:activemq-core:bundle:5.7.0'

You have to fix the format bundle for jar then it downloads.

'org.apache.activemq:activemq-core:jar:5.7.0'

But the dependency resolution fails following the download, which is probably caused by a symbolic mismatch internally.

You should press the maven repository to fix all their 'bundle' mistakes. And while we are at it, why doesn't somebody test all the artifact downloads available in Buildr ? It should be done!
