[jira] Resolved: (BUILDR-179) buildr tries to download pom files when generating a buildfile from pom.xml

["Assaf Arkin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-179?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Assaf Arkin resolved BUILDR-179.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

We do recommend that you explicitly specify as many dependencies as possible (see also examples in the documentation), the transitive method is considered experimental, and it's always a good idea to make sure the generated buildfile works before modifying or sharing it.  So the generate method wouldn't want to work around the best practice to use an undocumented method to generate a buildfile that's different from the one use for the basis of our documentation.

> The download is to get transitive dependencies however it means that if for some reason the download fails (out of date pom.xml, network issues, repositories settings), then buildfile is not created. 
> what if instead of generating a compile.with #{dependencies}, it will generate compile.with transitive(#{dependencies})? then the download and resolving will be done when the buildfile is used instead of when generated.
