Can not add Tinylog to Maven project because the dependency is a .zip on Maven Central about tinylog HOT 7 CLOSED

Thank you! I will analyze the behavior of Netbeans. Maybe I'm going to remove the ZIP archive from Maven Central Repository.

from tinylog.

I just tested it on my computer with Netbeans 8.2. Fresh download from: https://netbeans.org/downloads/start.html?platform=zip&lang=en&option=javase. On my computer, Netbeans leaves the type empty and downloads the tinylog JAR.

Update: Netbeans uses ZIP type, if you use the search, but the default JAR type, if you use the autocomplete function in the form itself.

Solved with release of tinylog 1.3 rc1.

Doing a manual install to the local repository works, but might not be the best solution.

Update: The following workaround fetches the artifact from Maven Central and installs correctly:

Add the dependency to pom.xml but change <type>zip</type> to <type>jar</type>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.tinylog</groupId>
    <artifactId>tinylog</artifactId>
    <version>1.2</version>
    <type>jar</type>
</dependency>

from tinylog.

Which IDE and Maven version are you using? I have tried to reproduce the problem with a clean and empty Maven repository. Maven 3.3.3 on Eclipse has automatically fetched and downloaded the tinylog JAR and no ZIP file.

My POM:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>example</groupId>
  <artifactId>app</artifactId>
  <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <dependencies>
  	<dependency>
  		<groupId>org.tinylog</groupId>
  		<artifactId>tinylog</artifactId>
  		<version>1.2</version>
  	</dependency>
  </dependencies>
</project>

tinylog files downloaded by Maven:

tinylog-1.2.jar
tinylog-1.2.jar.sha1
tinylog-1.2.pom
tinylog-1.2.pom.sha1

Did you write <type>zip</type> in your pom.xml before? In this case it would be correct that Maven has downloaded a ZIP file as it was requested. Usually I don't define the type, because Maven chooses JAR by default.

Thanks for the reply.

NetBeans 8.2 (all plugins updated as of today)
Maven 3.5.0
maven-dependency-plugin:2.6
maven-resources-plugin:2.6
maven-compiler-plugin:3.1

When you right-click on Dependencies in the Project window and click Add Dependency... to add in Tinylog, it is possible NetBeans is filling in an inappropriate <type>, which Eclipse does not do.

My workaround was to change the type in the Add dependency dialog from the default of zip to jar after I ran the query to download Tinylog from the Maven Central remote repository.
