Possible bug setting checksumPolicy in settings.xml

[Jostein Tveit <jo...@pvv.ntnu.no>]

Hi,

I am unable to set the checksumPolicy in my settings.xml file.

To reproduse the bug, please to the following using maven 2.0.7:

Use the following settings.xml file:
<settings>
  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <activation>
        <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
      </activation>
      <pluginRepositories>
        <pluginRepository>
          <releases>
            <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
            <checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy>
          </releases>
          <snapshots>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
          </snapshots>
          <id>central</id>
          <name>Maven Plugin Repository</name>
          <url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url>
        </pluginRepository>
      </pluginRepositories>
    </profile>
  </profiles>
</settings>

Remove org/apache/maven/maven/2.0.6 from local repository.

Execute:
$ mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=sample.group.id -DartifactId=sample-artifact-id
$ cd sample-artifact-id
$ mvn install

The reason for getting the checksum failed is explained in
<URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-530 >, but the issue
here is that the build is not failing even though checksumPolicy
is set to 'fail' in settings.xml.

Can someone please verify this bug, or tell me what I'm doing
wrong.

Thanks in advance.
