Description

Pretty ugly error output when gemify can't get a list of artifact versions:

https://gist.github.com/708640

In this case it appears to be a bad POM, and the maintainers have been notified. However I ran into the same problem with other java.net projects, so it's not uncommon. We should at least not blast Java backtraces at the user (without gem --backtrace or whatever the flag is, anyway), and perhaps can handle this more gracefully.

This is perhaps as much a gemify bug as a rubygems/maven bug.

there are more issues in here.

the reported one can be reproduced with

  • remove $HOME/.m2/repository/javax/transaction/jta/maven-metadata-central.xml
  • go offline
  • gem install -v1.1 javax.transaction.jta

the second one is the java stacktrace

the next one is

  • gem install -v1.0.1.b javax.transaction.jta

where there is no jar file on maven-central due to license issues or so, but the pom has a download-url to fetch the jar. maven ask you then to install the jar manually.

how shall rubygems handle such a situation ?

about the offline install, can we automate the download from java.net repo? (in this jta case).

to illustrate my last point here a gist https://gist.github.com/10a3bd243b4ded0c4cc8

the output of maven2 explains nicely what to do to get the jar files into the local maven repository.

if you follow the links from the maven2 output and try to locate the jar files then you will have to "accept a license" at some point. so there is now way to automate this - I would say.

something like the maven2 output is the way to go, maybe a "special" gems command which does install it both as maven artifact as well as gem in one go. but any other idea is welcome as well.
