Newer Jar Override

[Ch...@aami.com.au]

Hi All.

        The org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-checkstyle-plugin dependon upon 
checkstyle 4.1.

        I'd like to use checkstyle 4.4 (that matches by eclipse version).

        Is there any way to override it and get it to use 4.4 instead of 
4.1?

        TIA,

-Chris

Maven 2 Bug? Not Processing Children

[Ch...@aami.com.au]

Following Nick's suggestion to how to report a bug:

On this issue:

http://www.nabble.com/Class-Path-Test-Problem.-tt16556171s177.html

I have solved the problem.

If the consolidated pom has a scope in it, it fails to resolve it's child 
dependencies.

Consider this from a top level pom:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.ibm.db2.jcc</groupId>
            <artifactId>library</artifactId>
            <version>V8-FP15</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

This is what works:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi=
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation=
"http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 
http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.ibm.db2.jcc</groupId>
    <artifactId>library</artifactId>
    <version>V8-FP15</version>
    <packaging>pom</packaging>
    <name>Master POM for the DB2 Universal Drivers from V8 FP15.</name>
    <description>POM was created from install:install-file</description>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>com.ibm.db2.jcc</groupId>
                <artifactId>db2jcc</artifactId>
                <version>V8-FP15</version>
            </dependency>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>com.ibm.db2.jcc</groupId>
                <artifactId>db2jcc_license_cisuz</artifactId>
                <version>V8-FP15</version>
            </dependency>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>com.ibm.db2.jcc</groupId>
                <artifactId>db2jcc_license_cu</artifactId>
                <version>V8-FP15</version>
            </dependency>
        </dependencies>
</project>

If I add a scope of <anything> to each dependency, it fails to resolve 
it's children.

I consider this a bug.

If you are depending on a pom of type pom and the scope attribute is not 
needed (it should be specified in the top level dependency definition), 
then it should be ignored. At the very least it should not cease 
processing it's children.

This is the broken one, for reference:
