What is jetty-test-multipart?

[mrozekma]

I have a Maven build that somewhere deep in its dependency tree is depending on org.eclipse.jetty.tests:jetty-test-multipart:jar:12.1.5 (looks like it's referenced by jetty-http and a few other projects). I do see that project at https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/tree/jetty-12.1.x/tests/jetty-test-multipart, but it doesn't appear to be published in Maven Central under any version, which causes my builds to print:

[WARNING] The POM for org.eclipse.jetty.tests:jetty-test-multipart:jar:12.1.5 is missing, no dependency information available

Is this intentional? Am I doing something wrong?

Hi
Yes it's intentional. We don't really want to publish everything to Maven Central (few others are skipped) as some of them are really for testing purpose only.
You can download the sources and build it if needed but there is no usage for runtime usage.
Out of my curiosity what is your usage exactly to need this?

I don't actually know what's pulling it in; I'm building a Nifi processor, and the stock project Nifi generates causes it.

$ mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.nifi -DarchetypeArtifactId=nifi-processor-bundle-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=2.7.2 -DnifiVersion=2.7.2

...

$ cd nifi-test-processor
$ mvn package

It's not breaking anything, I just thought it was odd.
