Hi, I have an issue installing jars and their dependencies from download.dev.java.net The problem is that they use a URL layout that does not conform to the standard m2 spec. E.g. for the jaxb implementation, I find the parts I need in three directories: http://download.java.net/maven/1/com.sun.xml.bind/poms/ http://download.java.net/maven/1/com.sun.xml.bind/jars/ http://download.java.net/maven/1/com.sun.xml.bind/java-sources/ I can use <ibiblio name="java.net" root="${ibiblio-java-net-root}" m2compatible="false" namespace="maven2.java.net" pattern="[organisation]/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" /> which appears to work, but does not download the poms and their transitive dependencies because m2compatible=false. This is ugly, because it leads to ivy-files missing dependencies. I cannot use <ibiblio name="java.net" root="${ibiblio-java-net-root}" m2compatible="true" namespace="maven2.java.net" pattern="[organisation]/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" --> /> because it splits the organisation (which equals to com.sun.xml.bind) then looks inside http://download.java.net/maven/1/com/sun/xml/bind/poms/ (which conforms to the m2-spec, instead of http://download.java.net/maven/1/com.sun.xml.bind/poms/ where the poms reside. What does work, but what don't like very much is: <ibiblio name="java.net" root="${ibiblio-java-net-root}" m2compatible="false" namespace="maven2.java.net" pattern="[branch]/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" --> /> together with ivy.settings.xml <module organisation="com.sun.xml.bind" name="*" branch="com.sun.xml.bind" resolver="java.net.resolver"/> The advantage is that everything is now downloaded fine, but the ivy file contains the branch (even though there is no branch).
Is there a preferred solution for this problem, should I file a change request to include an attribute to the ibiblio resolver specifically for download.java.net? Or would an extra resolver based on the m2-resolver be more appropriate?
