Source: guava-libraries
Version: 32.0.1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When one tries to use the com.google.guava:guava-testlib:debian artifact in a Maven pom.xml file, during the build one gets the error

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project myProject: Could not resolve dependencies for project myGroup:myProject:jar:myVersion: Cannot access central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2) in offline mode and the artifact com.google.guava:guava:bundle:
debian has not been downloaded from it before. -> [Help 1]

because the pom of guava-testlib looks for com.google.guava:guava with the "bundle" type. I trust we should ship com.google.guava:guava with the "jar" packaging type instead of "bundle", this is more accurate and compliant with Debian-Java practices.

For instance I believe the enclosed patch allows one to package guava-libraries with "jar" artifacts instead of "bundle". Yet I did not try to build the rdeps.

Best,
