ABCL-ASDF:RESOLVE not working

[Mark Evenson]

Without the presence of a <file:~/.m2/> directory, populated by command line mvn usage, the ABCL-ASDF mechanism is not working:

CL-USER> (ABCL-ASDF:RESOLVE-DEPENDENCIES "net.java.dev.jna" "jna" :VERSION "4.1.0")

Java exception 'org.eclipse.aether.collection.DependencyCollectionException: Failed to read artifact descriptor for net.java.dev.jna:jna:jar:4.1.0'.
   [Condition of type JAVA-EXCEPTION]

Restarts:
 0: [RETRY] Retry compiling #<ASDF/INTERFACE:MVN "jna" "net.java.dev.jna/jna/4.1.0">.
 1: [ACCEPT] Continue, treating compiling #<ASDF/INTERFACE:MVN "jna" "net.java.dev.jna/jna/4.1.0"> as having been successful.
 2: [RETRY] Retry ASDF operation.
 3: [CLEAR-CONFIGURATION-AND-RETRY] Retry ASDF operation after resetting the configuration.
 4: [RETRY] Retry SLIME REPL evaluation request.
 5: [*ABORT] Return to SLIME's top level.

Switching between Maven versions 3.2.5 and 3.3.3 seems to give the same problems.

[Mark Evenson]

As a workaround, one may install artifacts by hand via the mvn command line.

The following will pull the artifacts required to get the depdendencies needed by CFFI

  mvn dependency:get -Dartifact net.java.dev.jna:jna:4.1.0

WORKAROUND: ensure that you use maven-3.2.3 from the environment.

Verify via ENSURE-MVN-VERSION

I believe (but have not verified) that the patches from Cyrus to enable maven-3.2.5 or later just never checked whether the artifacts were already present locally in the <file:~/.m2/> Maven cache.

Documentation on using Aether apart from Maven has gotten better.

An example with transitive dependencies:

  (abcl-asdf:Resolve "org.bitcoinj:bitcoinj-core:0.12.3")

patch for maven-3.3.3

Fixed with r14788.
