[aether-users] doubts about custom packaging artifacts resolution

[Cristiano Gavião <cvgaviao@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm start working in a mojo (maven 3.2.1, aether 0.9.0.M2) where it 
needs to traverse project's direct dependency, get its real packaging 
type (bundle or other custom archive type) and then generate a proper 
file for each found.

The problem is that I'm not being to resolve the bundle artifact or in 
local or remote repositories.

at maven central [1] we can see its packaging is "bundle". I'm trying to 
resolve it using the code below, but with no success.

Could someone point me to right direction?

thanks in advance.

Cristiano

code:

import org.apache.maven.artifact.Artifact;
import org.apache.maven.artifact.DefaultArtifact;
import org.apache.maven.artifact.handler.ArtifactHandler;
import org.apache.maven.artifact.handler.DefaultArtifactHandler;
import org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.ArtifactRepository;
import org.apache.maven.artifact.resolver.ArtifactResolutionRequest;
import org.apache.maven.artifact.resolver.ArtifactResolutionResult;

            ArtifactHandler bundleArtifactHandler = new 
DefaultArtifactHandler("bundle");

            Artifact nartifact = new 
DefaultArtifact("org.apache.felix", "org.apache.felix.bundlerepository", 
"1.6.6", "compile", "bundle", "", bundleArtifactHandler);
            getLog().debug("Resolving artifact " + artifact);
            ArtifactResolutionRequest request = new 
ArtifactResolutionRequest()
                    .setArtifact(nartifact)
                    .setRemoteRepositories(remoteRepositories)
                    .setLocalRepository(localArtifactRepository);

            ArtifactResolutionResult resolutionResult = repositorySystem
                    .resolve(request);
            if (resolutionResult.hasExceptions()) {
                throw new MojoExecutionException("Could not resolve 
artifact: "
                        + artifact, 
resolutionResult.getExceptions().get(0));
            }
