maven plugin dependency problem

[Maxime VINCENT <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I'm currently developping a Maven plugin, and I have a problem if I use it
in command line (but if I use it in a project, It works fine).
I've got 'Failed to resolve artifact' error.

So I execute it with :
mvn install:install-file homega.tools:obrPlugin:repository -Dfile=
org.apache.felix.ipojo-0.7.1-incubator-SNAPSHOT.jar -DartifactId=ipojo
-DgroupId=org.apache.felix -Dversion=0.7.1-incubator-SNAPSHOT-Dpackaging=jar

In fact the specified file (here:
org.apache.felix.ipojo-0.7.1-incubator-SNAPSHOT.jar) will be installed with
groupId, artifactId and version given, then my plugin will be executed.
So Maven tries to download all the dependencies used by my plugin, but
instead of using the version and groupId specified in my plugin
pom.xmlfile, it changes this two fields by groupId and version
specified in command
line.



this is a part of my plugin pom.xml file:

...
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
<artifactId>org.osgi.core</artifactId>
<version>0.9.0-incubator-SNAPSHOT</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
...
and the result of an execution:

C:\projet\Stage>mvn install:install-file
homega.tools:obrPlugin:repository-Dfile=
org.apache.felix.ipojo-0.7.1
-incubator-SNAPSHOT.jar -DartifactId=ipojo -DgroupId=test
-Dversion=0.7.7-Dpackaging=jar

----------
2 required artifacts are missing.



But if I install my file in the same groupId and version than the
dependencies (ie: org.apache.felix, 0.9.0-incubator-SNAPSHOT), it works
fine.

example:
C:\projet\Stage>mvn install:install-file
homega.tools:obrPlugin:repository-Dfile=
org.apache.felix.ipojo-0.7.1
-incubator-SNAPSHOT.jar -DartifactId=ipojo -DgroupId=org.apache.felix-Dversion=
0.9.0-incubator-SNAPSHOT -Dpac

So I don't understand how maven resolves the plugin dependencies,

thank you for your response.
