New "feature" in 2.0.5: maven creates repo directories?!

[Holger Hoffstaette <ho...@wizards.de>]

I was more than a little miffed^h^h^h^h^h^hsurprised to learn that maven
2.0.5 has decided to create my repository directories for me. Thanks, but
no thanks!

Add the following convenience repo:

<repository>
<id>local (Maven 1)</id>
<name>Local module repository (lib)</name>
<url>file://lib</url>
..etc..

and suddenly you have a "lib" directory created in your project tree, even
if you didn't want one. I would be grateful for explanations about:

- wtf does this happen?
- is this worthy of a new JIRA?
- can I turn this off?

thanks
Holger

It should definitely not create it - please file an issue.

That is and isn't a bug. It is a bug insomuch that it is not expected
behavior - it isn't a bug because you told Maven to create it. Maven (fairly
universally) uses the Java convention: when you give an absolute path, it'll
use it, otherwise, it's relative.

If you are running windows that means your path must begin with drive
letter. If you are using a *nix system, it must begin with root (/)... the
example you gave does neither, so the Maven runtime assumes that the
directory is local. If you want the repo to be in /lib, you'll need to set
file:///lib (three slashes) not file://lib.

Go head and file a JIRA though, since this might trip others up - I can't
imagine why anyone would want a relative repo.

Forgot to mention..

> 2.0.5 has decided to create my repository directories for me.

..when running eclipse:eclipse for the project. It's repeatable
too: no lib dir is created with 2.0.4, it immediately appears when run
with 2.0.5.

thanks
