Re: [jira] Commented: (COCOON-1975) cocoon-core-M2 could not be runned

After reading debug log of Maven I can describe what happens partly:
In some parent poms (like cocoon's root pom) there is declaration of
apache.snapshot repository where avalon stuff is stored in. For some
reason when it comes that Maven should get pom of
avalon-framework-impl-4.3 it "forgets" about apache.snapshot and checks
only central. She fails to download POM so it uses default pom.
Processing other part of dependency graph Maven suddenly "recalls" about
apache.snapshot repo but it's too late. Default pom is being used so she
does not try to download real pom, and also does not try to resolve
dependencies.
So what the avalon-framework-api-4.3.jar comes from? It seems (I'm not
sure!) that default pom means also "search the jar default location on
all repositories", and surprisingly Maven manages to find right jar on
apache.snapshot ;-)
I think it's no point to release new version of core because
*dependencies seem to be correct*. It's only question how to make Maven
to not forget about repository, I think the easiest way is to add
information about repository to the archetypes (tested and it works).
Few sentences of _speculation_: I'm not Maven expert so it's my guessing
(and only guessing) but I think Maven goes crazy when pom has declared
parent explicitly and at other place is referenced by other pom as
dependency. Then the situation looks like pom has two parents and one of
them is being rejected. I had no time to verify this hypothesis but if
I'm wrong you can shout at me and save some of my time :)
I'll try to clarify situation by debugging Maven but I feel it won't be
piece of cake for me (any hints appreciated!). You can expect some
results on Friday.

No problem. I'm going to fix the issue in Maven, but the code where the
bug seems to lay in is piece of crap (opinion of Maven dev ;)) so it's
quite difficult to figure out exact place of faluty code. I'm also
having exams on University so I won't be able to do this now, though.
I'll report on progress (if any) in 3 weeks or so.

ok, I will release the archetypes again with the next series of module releases
that I plan to do in about 2 or 3 weeks.
Thanks for your work!!!

I meant "release new archetypes".

I've haunted some Maven insider (Kenney Westerhof) for us on IRC. :)
After quite long discussion, we agreed that there is some kind of bug in
Maven. The result is that he has filled report in JIRA and I've managed
to focus some interest on it. I'll watch this issues and do my best to
resolve it. If it's confirmed, I think the best workaround for now is to
release new artifacts that contain directly declaration of apache.snapshot.

avalon-framework-impl is also available at central
(http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/avalon-framework/avalon-framework-impl/4.3/avalon-framework-impl-4.3.pom)
and has a dependency on avalon-framework-api or is this something different?
