[jira] Commented: (MEV-443) Several projects have maven-metadata.xml files that are missing released versions

["luke w patterson (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-443?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=170575#action_170575 ] 

luke w patterson commented on MEV-443:
--------------------------------------

Any updates on this issue?

In general, who is responsible for maintaining metadata in central?

When I notice missing/incorrect metadata, where should I file a bug?

How should I respond to questions like these:
http://code.google.com/p/mockito/issues/detail?id=63#c2
?

I thought central was hosted with Nexus now.  Is that correct?  If so, how does that affect this issue?

> I am trying to use the version range feature that is talked about in Better builds with Maven. I am specifying the commons-httpclient dependency as
>     <dependency>
>       <groupId>commons-httpclient</groupId>
>       <artifactId>commons-httpclient</artifactId>
>       <version>[3.1-alpha1,)</version>
>     </dependency>
> Unfortunately, the usefulness of this feature is being sabotaged because the latest version of artificat is not listed in the maven-metadata.xml. 
> Please update the maven-metadata.xml in this project and others. In particular 
> hsqldb,
> commons-*,
> rhino/js
> htmlunit
> When updating those files, please do not list the versions using dates as their version id as it screws up the maven feature that allows dependencies to specify a version range.
