[jira] Updated: (MNG-3052) Transitive Dependency not found when repo is not listed

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3052?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Dirk Olmes updated MNG-3052:
----------------------------

    Attachment: InheritLegacyRepo.zip

This example does not exactly reproduce the described setup but illustrates the same effect. The toplevel pom defines a repository, module 'foo' defines two other repositories and module 'bar' depends on 'foo' and on artifacts that can be resolved from bar's repository.

The point is here that if you define a dependency you should be able to resolve transient dependencies through the inherited repositories.

> I have seen the situation where a build fails because a project has a transitive dependency that only exists in a repository not listed by my project.  An example of this is I have Projects A, B, and C.  Where A depends on B, and B on C.  B has been released to remote repo 1, and C has been released to remote repo 2.  Since A just directly depends on B it only lists remote repo 1 in its POM.  However when I try to build project A the build fail because it can't resolve its transitive dependency C in any of the dependencies it is checking (repo 1 only).  
> It is my understanding that for project A I shouldn't have to list the remote repos to resolve transitive dependencies.  I should only have to list the repos to get to B and Maven then should use the POM of B to resolve C.
> Is that not correct?
