>             Project: Maven 2
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Command Line, General
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.4
>            Reporter: Alan D. Salewski
>            Priority: Minor

> The file size check in {{maven-core/.../org/apache/maven/DefaultMaven.java}} is applied too aggressively. In particular, it should only be applied to regular files; when reading from a unix named pipe (probably other platform-specific devices, too) we may not be able to determine the file size prior to reading the data.
> The real-world motiviation from this is the attached '{{mvn-get-plugin}}' {{bash}} script, which wants to pipe a dummy {{pom.xml}} file to {{mvn}} on {{stdin}} (by specifying {{/dev/stdin}} as the argument to the {{mvn}} {{\-\-file}} command line option).
> Once I submit this issue and have the issue number, I'll attach two patches, one against the maven svn trunk, and one against the {{maven-2.0.4}} tag.
