Description

Using a pom.xml for dependencies, in which the pom.xml has a parent pom.xml will cause a "Error downloading parent pom" error.

This WAS NOT a bug with version 2.0.6 of the maven-ant-tasks (new issue to maven-ant-tasks-2.0.7.jar and still an issue with the latest maven-ant-tasks-2.0.8-SNAPSHOT.jar (as of the writting of this bug)).

Just to see if I had done something wrong with the pom.xml file I tried to run a Maven goal against the pom.xml file. I found that if I run "mvn clean" from this same directory (where the build.xml and pom.xml file is located), using Maven-2.0.7, I get a build successfull (it was able to find the parent pom.xml file... so this seems to be isolated to JUST the maven-ant-task not being able to find the parent pom.xml)

• • • • Sample of the pom.xml file ****
