[jira] [Commented] (MNG-5764) Tolerate "soft" 404, check downloaded pom files

["Niranjan Molkeri` (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5764?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15234452#comment-15234452 ] 

Niranjan Molkeri` commented on MNG-5764:
----------------------------------------

In most of the cases, Spark Maven POMs are complicated by unnecessary excludes. I assume we can significantly simplify the build by removing many of the unnecessary excludes.

> With maven 3.2 if the user downloads a pom/jar from external repository and the network proxy sends a "soft 404", the html-content of the response will be stored in the pom file. It needs some work to find out what went wrong.
> When downloading pom files, the content of the pom file could be parsed and the file should not be stored in the local maven cache. In such cases the artifact should not be downloaded either.
