Bug#787199: libmaven-compiler-plugin-java: missing versioned dependency on libplexus-compiler-java may cause FTBFS

[Markus Koschany]

Package: libmaven-compiler-plugin-java
Version: 3.2-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

when I try to compile a package that build-depends on
libmaven-compiler-plugin-java in a cowbuilder environment,
libplexus-compiler-1.0-java will be pulled in.

Now the problem is that the maven.rules in the maven-compiler-plugin
source package are made for plexus-compiler version 2 and thus my
maven build fails to build from source and I get complaints about missing artifacts.

It is also quite confusing that libplexus-compiler-1.0-java provides
libplexus-compiler-java but I'm not sure why this change was
necessary. Anyhow I believe a versioned build-dependency on
libplexus-compiler-java (>= 2.4) should be added to
libmaven-compiler-plugin-java to avoid such build failures in
the future.

Regards,

Markus
