[IVY-933] Maven2 parser checks version in the POM with the expected version

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: 2.0-RC1
• Component/s: Maven Compatibility

Description

When Ivy downloads a POM, it checks if the version inside the POM is the same as the expected version.
Maven2 doesn't check this.

For instance: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/jdo/jdo/2.0-beta/jdo-2.0-beta.pom
Ivy will fail resolving this dependency, maven2 doesn't fail.

Even more: maven2 will download the 2.0-beta jar, but inside the POM the version is 1.0.1, so it seems that maven2 uses the version from the URL instead of the version from the POM.
