[jira] Created: (MNG-2085) POM documentation for repository
structure looks out of date
POM documentation for repository structure looks out of date
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2085
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2085
Project: Maven 2
Type: Bug
Components: Documentation: Guides
Versions: 2.0.2
Reporter: Howard M. Lewis Ship
The POM documentation, at http://maven.apache.org/maven-model/maven.htm, is out of date w.r.t the structure of the remote repository.
This element describes all of the dependencies associated with a
project. Each dependency is described by a
<code>dependency</code> element, which is then described by
additional elements (described below).
These dependencies are used to construct a classpath for your
project during the build process.
Maven can automatically download these dependencies from a
<a href="/user-guide.html#Remote%20Repository%20Layout">remote repository</a>.
<p>
The filename that Maven downloads from the repository is
<code>artifactId-version.jar</code> where <code>artifactId</code>
corresponds to the <code>artifactId</code> element and
<code>version</code> corresponds to the <code>version</code> element.
</p>
<p>
When Maven goes looking for a dependency in the remote repository,
it uses the dependency element to construct the URL to download
from. This URL is defined as:
</p>
<div class="source">
<pre>${repo}/${groupId}/${type}s/${artifactId}-${version}.${type}</pre>
</div>
<p>
Where
</p>
<dl>
<dt>repo</dt>
<dd>
is the remote repository URL specified by
<code>${maven.repo.remote}</code>
</dd>
<dt>groupId</dt>
<dd>is taken from the dependency element</dd>
<dt>type</dt>
<dd>is taken from the dependency element</dd>
<dt>artifactId</dt>
<dd>is taken from the dependency element</dd>
<dt>version</dt>
<dd>is taken from the dependency element</dd>
</dl>
For Maven 2, this looks very different. Looks like the docs were copied from Maven 1?
