Description

When an attempt is made to configure the org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin, maven resolves the org.codehaus.mojo:dependency-maven-plugin plugin instead.

As a result of the different plugin config syntax, execution fails.

According to available docs and Google, specifying absolute behaviour when a plugin namespace clash occurs is either not possible, or not documented.

According to some info on the users list, the plugin can be absolutely specified like this:

mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.0-alpha-4:unpack

Ideally the maven-dependency-plugin site / FAQ should be changed to include:

  • The fact there is a namespace clash between dependency-maven-plugin and maven-dependency-plugin.
  • The fact that it can be worked around by specifying the plugin goal absolutely as abaove.

This is fixed in Maven 2.0.7, but you're correct I should add a FAQ. http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2926
