[timothyklim]

Hi, I have build.sbt:

name := "example"

version := "0.1"

scalaVersion := "2.9.2"

resolvers ++= Seq(
  "Typesafe Repository" at "http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/releases",
  "Typesafe repo" at "http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/repo",
  "Sonatype Snapshot" at "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots"
)


libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
    "com.github.scala-incubator.io" %% "scala-io-core" % "0.4.1-seq",
    "com.github.scala-incubator.io" %% "scala-io-file" % "0.4.1-seq",
    "org.scalesxml" %% "scales-xml" % "0.3.1",
    "org.scalesxml" %% "scales-jaxen" % "0.3.1"
)

but sbt can't resolve some libraries:

Hi, yes this is more than annoying. I have a lighter-weight version in the old repository pom wise, and there is a another version whose pom is cleaner:

org.apache.servicemix.bundles org.apache.servicemix.bundles.jaxen.

I'm going to try this out now. If it works I'll bundle #3 and #4 into a 0.3.2 and 0.4.2 release later today.

[chris-twiner]

In the meantime you can try to use:

"org.scalesxml" %% "scales-xml" % "0.3.1",
"org.scalesxml" %% "scales-jaxen" % "0.3.1" intransitive(),
"jaxen" % "jaxen" % "1.1.3" intransitive()

which should only download the jars themselves and not attempt to download the others.

[chris-twiner]

unfortunately that pom also brings in a very old and test breaking version of xerces. (the solution as with aalto is to use a non version aware reader/sax parser pool but its not transparent).

But I'll specifically add the intransitive solution to the 0.3.2 and 0.4.2 release notes

[chris-twiner]

instructions in release notes, will publish notes tomorrow. release is already made

Thank you!

You are more than welcome, and many thanks for raising this.
