Apparent dependency resolving problem

Old Forum
1

Hello,

During resolving dependency of ‘org.apache.axis2:axis2-ant-plugin:1.6.1’ (and happens with others too) several fatal errors (see below) are shown by gradle (milestone-9). Despite that fresh downloads and the build is reported to be successful. There were no such things earlier. The closest thing I could find is: http://gradle.1045684.n5.nabble.com/Already-seen-doctype-error-trying-to-resolve-dependency-td4259072.html But this beast seems to be something different as downloads do happen.

Is this something to be afraid of, has anybody seen things like that?

Thanks! Zsolt

Sounds like an invalid POM. Are you saying that the build succeeds despite this output?

3

Yes. I double checked starting with all the caches removed. The same fatal errors reported for the *.pom.sha1 files. A have not checked yet the working of jars because this was done only for a simple test project.

I can’t reproduce this. Can you try with the latest Gradle version? If the problem still occurs, can you post a build that allows to reproduce the problem?

The problem is that you are using http://mvnrepository.com as a maven repository. Gradle is trying to download http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/commons-cli/commons-cli/1.2/commons-cli-1.2.pom as a POM, but you can see that it’s a HTML page about the POM.

We really need to see your build, particularly the ‘repositories’ and ‘dependencies’ blocks.

Yes, that was it. My repositories contained ‘http://mvnrepository.com’. Having got rid of it messages ceased to appear.

Thank you! Zsolt
