Bug#794897: maven-scm: 1.3-6 FTBFS without libmaven-scm-providers-java which was created in this version

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Source: maven-scm
Version: 1.3-6
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I saw that 1.3-6 was synced from Debian unstable to the development
version of Ubuntu [1], but it failed to build [2]. Oddly enough it
didn't ran into problems before it started with javadoc, but looked
like some missing build dependency.

So I took a look in my Sid vm to check whether this issue was
reproducible there as well. Now, I wasn't able to reproduce the same
issue, so the Ubuntu issue might be caused by some packages out of
sync with Debian... However, I ran into a similar issue on Debian:

[INFO] Building Maven SCM CVS Provider - Parent
[INFO]    task-segment: [javadoc:jar]
[INFO] 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] [javadoc:jar {execution: default-cli}]
[INFO] Not executing Javadoc as the project is not a Java 
classpath-capable package

[INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.

Missing:
----------
1) org.apache.maven.scm:maven-scm-test:jar:1.3

   Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

   Then, install it using the command:
       mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.maven.scm 
-DartifactId=maven-scm-test -Dversion=1.3 -Dpackaging=jar 
-Dfile=/path/to/file

   Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file 
there:
       mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.apache.maven.scm 
-DartifactId=maven-scm-test -Dversion=1.3 -Dpackaging=jar 
-Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

   Path to dependency:
   	1) org.apache.maven.scm:maven-scm-provider-cvstest:jar:1.3
   	2) org.apache.maven.scm:maven-scm-test:jar:1.3

----------
1 required artifact is missing.

for artifact:
   org.apache.maven.scm:maven-scm-provider-cvstest:jar:1.3


The missing artifact is provided by maven-scm, used to reside
in libmaven-scm-java [3], but is now part of
libmaven-scm-providers-java [4]. I am not quite sure why it failed to
find this artifact from the current build, but after installing
libmaven-scm-providers-java 1.3-6 it built succesfully. So it looks
like this might be a circular dependency or at least somethin odd
going on.
