Depenceny version..

[ja...@axxessit.no]

Hi all.

I'm just wondering... Have you ever attempted to create a dependency 
without the <version/> or <jar/>
tags?

Maybe I'm stupid, but I'd expect Maven to look for a jar 
${dep.groupId}/jars/${dep.artifactId}.jar - but instead
it attempts to locate ${dep.groupId}/jars/${dep.artifactId}-.jar :-/

This is RC-1.0 by the way.

You need to have a version element. If you want to override the naming
convention we force you to use the <jar/> element. But the handling of
that should certainly be better.

Not that this is something which would jump right out at a person, but
if you check the XSD definition for the project.xml file (see
$MAVEN_HOME/project.xsd), I believe you'll see that the version tag is a
required element. Therefore, the XML document isn't even valid without
it. The reason maven doesn't squawk at this is that it doesn't check for
XML validity when parsing...the XSD is a guide, but should remain the
authoritative source, even if not checked.
