[jira] Commented: (SHALE-319) Shale-Parent--pom contains repositories

["Matthias Wessendorf (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Matthias Wessendorf commented on SHALE-319:
-------------------------------------------

>I strongly disagree. That's what the <repository> element is there for. If we tell people they have to configure their user settings (to get the right repositories), we have just >destroyed the primary reason we switched away from Ant (where you had to customize build.properties files for stuff like this) in the first place. 

at least if ibiblio is down a user wants to add a mirrow or alternate repo

>Sounds like you should set proxy settings in your user settings file, something which *does* belong there. I can build from behind Sun's firewall with no problems, once I set my proxy servers correctly. 

I am not saying that I don't have that stuff setup in my settings, I am able to build, no worries.

can be that, or we need to remove the <repo/>

>Try this experiment (on a machine outside the firewall):

>* Do *not* add these repositories to your user settings
  (this reflects the state of the vast majority of the world)
>* Try a build

did everything with a *naked* m2 env. (means no settings at all)

I got this:

[ERROR] BUILD ERROR

[INFO] Error building POM (may not be this project's POM).


Project ID: org.apache.shale:shale-parent:pom:1.0.3

Reason: Cannot find parent: org.apache.shale:shale-master for project: org.apache.shale:shale-parent:pom:1.0.3


ok, can be, b/c the people.apache.org is down. BUT! after commented out the repos in -parent, it went through, pretty smooth



So what I did than, *erase* my local_repo again, update shale source, remove the <repo/> from -parent (in source) and run the Shale build.
It went through (and the post shale trinidad build as well)

> Why can't you build the stuff?
> Because maven sees only (to fetch Shale dependencies) these two repos:
> -Apache M2 Snapshot
> -Java.net
