Description

Build will fail behind a maven proxy, like JFrog Artifactory.

 

The reason is simple: A transitive dependency has a invalid pom.xml (invalid xml):

Example invocation

On any goal: 

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project cxf-rt-transports-jms: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-transports-jms:bundle:3.4.0-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at org.apache.activemq:activemq-pool:jar:5.15.9 -> org.apache.activemq:activemq-jms-pool:jar:5.15.9 -> org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-jta_1.0.1B_spec:jar:1.0.1: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-jta_1.0.1B_spec:jar:1.0.1: Could not transfer artifact org.apache.geronimo.specs:specs:pom:1.1 from/to nexus-central (https://mavenproxy.local/maven-central/): Failed to transfer file https://mavenproxy.local/maven-central/org/apache/geronimo/specs/specs/1.1/specs-1.1.pom with status code 409 -> [Help 1]

[ERROR]   org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-jta_1.0.1B_spec:jar:1.0.1 

Reason / Rationale

If a pom.xml is unreadable, JFrog artifactory will return a HTTP SC 409 instead of just delivering the invalid pom.xml file.

 

Solution

Either

• Update dependencies (if possible and reasonable). or
• add more excludes – the referenced artifact is already excluded on some other dependencies. or
• do not rely on dependencies with invalid pom.xml files.
