Bug#486938: maven2.jar seems to be missing classes from org.apache.maven:maven-toolchain

[Alexander Hvostov]

Package: maven2
Version: 2.0.9-1
Severity: normal

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

The shipped maven2.jar has the Maven metadata for artifact
org.apache.maven:maven-toolchain:1.0 but does not seem to contain this
artifact's classes.

As a result, I get a NoClassDefFoundError when attempting to build a
project that uses
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.4.3 for its tests.
Version 2.4.3 of the Surefire plugin depends on the maven-toolchain
artifact where previous versions did not.

The reason this is a problem is that Maven doesn't try to download the
maven-toolchain artifact, believing incorrectly that this artifact is
built in and so does not need to be downloaded. See excerpt from debug
log:

- ----BEGIN LOG----
[DEBUG]  The following artifacts were filtered out for plugin: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.4.3 because they're already in the core of Maven:

org.apache.maven:maven-plugin-api:jar:2.0.6:runtime
org.apache.maven:maven-artifact:jar:2.0.6:runtime
org.apache.maven:maven-project:jar:2.0.6:runtime
org.apache.maven:maven-core:jar:2.0.6:runtime
org.apache.maven:maven-toolchain:jar:1.0:runtime

These will use the artifact files already in the core ClassRealm instead, to allow them to be included in PluginDescriptor.getArtifacts().
- -----END LOG-----

Please include the maven-toolchain classes in maven2.jar.
