legacy artifact path configuration is a way for archiva to support maven1
clients (maven1 request URL is not fine-grained enough to safelly detect the
artifactId / version / classifier).
When you want to acces a legacy-layout repository using a proxy connector,
you don't need to configure anything.
Your issue is that archiva search the expected artifact in /plugins/ and not
in /maven-plugins/
In archiva source code ( AbstractLegacyRepositoryContent.java ) I can read :
typeToDirectoryMap.put( ArtifactExtensionMapping.MAVEN_PLUGIN,
"plugin" );
BUT when deploying a project to a legacy repo, the maven ArtifactHandler (in
maven-artifact.jar) set :
<role>org.apache.maven.artifact.handler.ArtifactHandler</role>
<role-hint>maven-plugin</role-hint>
<configuration>
<type>maven-plugin</type>
<extension>jar</extension>
IMHO, archiva tries to use the same "type" for two incompatible artifacts :
maven1 plugins and maven2 ones. As requesting a maven2 plugin from a maven1
repository is really not a common use case, this may not have been
discovered yet.
Please open an Issue for this.
