[jira] Created: (MNG-2085) POM documentation for repository structure looks out of date

POM documentation for repository structure looks out of date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The POM documentation, at http://maven.apache.org/maven-model/maven.htm, is out of date w.r.t the structure of the remote repository.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?
