     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-640?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Juven Xu closed MEV-640.
------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix
      Assignee: Juven Xu

1. we don't update POM since that might break people's builds
2. activation-1.0.2.jar is not there because of license issue

> I have a pom with the following dependency:
>     <dependencies>
>         <dependency>
>             <groupId>javax.xml.soap</groupId>
>             <artifactId>saaj-api</artifactId>
>             <version>1.3</version>
>         </dependency>
>     </dependencies>
> This artifact is located in the maven central repository:
>   http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/xml/soap/saaj-api/1.3
> When Maven tries to download this artifact, it also tries to download the transitive dependency and fails with the following missing artifact:
> Missing:
> ----------
> 1) javax.activation:activation:jar:1.0.2
>   Try downloading the file manually from: 
>       http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/glasgow/jaf.html
>   Then, install it using the command: 
>       mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=javax.activation -DartifactId=activation -Dversion=1.0.2 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file
>   Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there: 
>       mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=javax.activation -DartifactId=activation -Dversion=1.0.2 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]
>   Path to dependency: 
>         1) maven.test:saaj-dependency:jar:1.0
>         2) javax.xml.soap:saaj-api:jar:1.3
>         3) javax.activation:activation:jar:1.0.2
> ----------
> 1 required artifact is missing.
> for artifact: 
>   maven.test:saaj-dependency:jar:1.0
> from the specified remote repositories:
>   central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2)
> If you take a look at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/activation/activation/1.0.2/,  it's missing the jar.
> The correct dependency in saaj-api should be:
>     <dependency>
>       <!-- 1.0.2 would do, but that's not available in the repository -->
>       <groupId>javax.activation</groupId>
>       <artifactId>activation</artifactId>
>       <version>1.1</version>
>     </dependency>
