This was a bore to track down, but I got there. The answer is two-fold: i) maven lies about its dependency paths ii) ant-contrib's POM depends on a non-existent version of commons-httpclient I think both of these are bugs > My libopenws-java package[0] includes > /usr/share/maven-repo/org/opensaml/openws/debian/openws-debian.pom > > which has (amongst other things): > <properties> > > <debian.commons-httpclient.commons-httpclient.originalVersion>3.1</debian.commons-httpclient.commons-httpclient.originalVersion> > </properties> > and > <dependency> > <groupId>commons-httpclient</groupId> > <artifactId>commons-httpclient</artifactId> > <version>3.x</version> > <exclusions> > <exclusion> > <groupId>commons-logging</groupId> > > <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId> > </exclusion> > </exclusions> > </dependency> This was all correct. However, ant-contrib's POM depends on version "debian" of commons-httpclient, which is wrong. > 2) commons-httpclient:commons-httpclient:jar:debian > > [snip suggestion of downloading & building it] > > Path to dependency: > 1) edu.internet2.middleware:shibboleth-common:jar:1.4.1-SNAPSHOT > 2) org.opensaml:opensaml:jar:debian > 3) org.opensaml:openws:jar:debian > 4) commons-httpclient:commons-httpclient:jar:debian Here, maven is lying. Whilst org.opensaml:openws does depend on commons-httpclient:commons-httpclient, it depends on version 3.x. In fact it is ant-common that depends on the broken version. If I fix the version in ant-contrib's POM, then maven no longer complains about being unable to find commons-httpclient:commons-httpclient:jar:debian Regards, Matthew -- "At least you know where you are with Microsoft."
