Description

The nifi-maven package builds a maven plugin (nifi-nar-maven-plugin) that enhances maven so it can build nar files.

nifi-nar-maven-plugin v1.2.0 depends on maven 3.1.0, which is buggy and leaks dependencies on aether and sufi. These problems are demonstrated by attempting to load the project into netbeans, which provides the following error:

Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs:
[ERROR] Unresolveable build extension: Plugin org.apache.nifi:nifi-nar-maven-plugin:1.2.0 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: The following artifacts could not be resolved: org.eclipse.aether:aether-spi:jar:0.9.0.M2, org.eclipse.aether:aether-impl:jar:0.9.0.M2, org.eclipse.aether:aether-api:jar:0.9.0.M2: The repository system is offline but the artifact org.eclipse.aether:aether-spi:jar:0.9.0.M2 is not available in the local repository. @

These problems have been resolved by the bug-fix release: maven v3.1.1.
