Snapshot Dependency - Jar Overrides

[Ri...@ubs.com]

Hi all,

I've been experimenting with my local Maven (v1.0.2) build environment the use of snapshot artifacts. I was wondering if people can confirm the following behaviour, or point out what I am doing wrong.

1. I find that if I try to override a dependency Jar that is defined in my POM as a SNAPSHOT version, the build fails saying that it cannot find the override path specified - even though the Jar file is there. If however, I change the dependency version in my POM to a fixed version number it works fine. Alternatively, if I build offline using 'maven -o', it also works fine.

Should I be able to override a SNAPSHOT dependency using a maven.jar.artifactId = [path] property?

2. If I use maven.repo.remote.enabled=false I always get build failures due to unsatisfied dependencies for my SNAPSHOT dependency Jars, even though they are present in my local repository. The Maven website infers that this shouldn't happen - that the build should use the Snapshot Jars that are in my local repository. If I use maven -o again, it works fine - with the usual warning of the possibility of out-of-date dependencies.

Are there additional properties I need to use to get these two features working?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Richard.

you're right. Can you file a JIRA issue?

I think this may already be in JIRA.

You can use maven.mode.online=false, which is analogours to -o.

Cheers,
Brett
