             Summary: Artifacts that have a .pom but no .jar in local Maven cache should be skipped
                 Key: IVY-1432
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1432
             Project: Ivy
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Dave Syer


For Maven users the local cache repo can easily contain a .pom for a dependency but no corresponding .jar.  Ivy treats this as a resolved dependency that does not exist, and hence fails, whereas it would actually be perfectly sane to skip it (and allow another resolver to have a go). Groovy and Gradle users experience this a lot (e.g. http://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-2034).

A simple workaround is to use a custom Repository in the {{{localm2}}} (in Groovy Grab terms) resolver which answers false to {{{exists()}}} for the .pom resource if the corresponding .jar is not present.
