Description Stanislav Ochotnicky 2011-12-02 13:08:37 UTC 
Description of problem:
mvn-rpmbuild has problems with some dependencies when returning "latest" as available versions. "LATEST" works though. 

See if this change makes sense in the code and make a fix
Comment 1 Carlo de Wolf 2011-12-02 14:30:59 UTC 
Using:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.codehaus.plexus</groupId>
      <artifactId>plexus-container-default</artifactId>
      <version>latest</version>
    </dependency>

The regular mvn build will fail with:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project maven-plugin-api: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.apache.maven:maven-plugin-api:jar:3.0.3: Failure to find org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-container-default:jar:latest in https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/ was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of jboss-public-repository-group has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]

Using:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.codehaus.plexus</groupId>
      <artifactId>plexus-container-default</artifactId>
      <version>LATEST</version>
    </dependency>

mvn-rpmbuild fails with:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin:2.4.1:clean (default-clean) on project maven: Execution default-clean of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin:2.4.1:clean failed: Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin:2.4.1 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to collect dependencies for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin:jar:2.4.1 (): Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-container-default:jar:LATEST: Failed to resolve version for org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-container-default:jar:LATEST: Could not find metadata org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-container-default/maven-metadata.xml in local (/home/carlo/work/apache/maven/maven-3/tags/maven-3.0.3/.m2) -> [Help 1]
