    Description

      Since 2.0.9 Maven supports the usage of expressions in the 'mirrorOf' element
      (See http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-mirror-settings.html)

      These expression are not wel interpreted by the dependencies task.

      The snippet

          <dependencies pathId="xy1.path" settingsFile="${basedir}/settings.xml">
      <dependency groupId="x" artifactId="y" version="1" type="pom"/>
    </dependencies>
works when settings.xml is:
<settings>
  ...
  <mirrors>
    <mirror>
      <mirrorOf>project-releases-repository</mirrorOf>
      <url>http://the.maven.proxy/project...</url>
    </mirror>
    <mirror>
      <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
      <url>http://the.maven.proxy/public...</url>
    </mirror>
  </mirrors>
 ...
</settings>

      It stops working (= not able to download dependency) when settings.xml is:

      <settings>
  ...
  <mirrors>
    <mirror>
      <mirrorOf>*,!project-releases-repository</mirrorOf>
      <url>http://the.maven.proxy/public...</url>
    </mirror>
  </mirrors>
 ...
</settings>
