[aether-users] Cannot get RepositorySystem instance from DefaultServiceL

[glasgowprivat@xxxxxx]

Dear List,

 

I'm trying to access a Maven repo from within an Eclipse RCP app. I'm doing this via the following code:

 

DefaultServiceLocator locator = MavenRepositorySystemUtils.newServiceLocator();
locator.addService( ArtifactDescriptorReader.class, DefaultArtifactDescriptorReader.class );
... and other addService()s
RepositorySystem mvnSystem = locator.getService(RepositorySystem.class);
 

However, mvnSystem remains null.

 

I've included all Features returned from a search "aether" on the Mars update site, and added all "aether" packages to my plugin.

 

I've also seen the same code used in other instances (checked some repos on the web).

 

Does anyone have any idea why this code wouldn't work?

 

Many thanks!

Stefan
