Peter Petersson commented on GERONIMO-2993:
-------------------------------------------
I run into this problem (having maven-metadata-local.xml files instead of
maven-metadata.xml files) with a relatively fresh local 2.0.5 maven repository
during work on a Geronimo Roller Plugin see GERONIMO-2994. As I had problems
getting the plugin function finding the modules in my local repository I
started to trace things in the PluginInstallerGBean and found that the problem
could be fixed with a small (actually 2) modification to the findArtifact
method (see the included "PluginInstallerGBean.patch" in GERONIMO-2994 for
deatils).
For some reason (unknown to me) maven creates maven-metadata-local.xml files
instead of maven-metadata.xml files in some cases and without modifying this
method (findArtifact) I could not test install and work on the plugin using the
local maven repository.
The "patch" is pretty simple and works like this:
If findArtifact fails to look up the maven-metadata.xml file it will, instead
of exit with null, first look up the maven-metadata-local.xml file and only if
that also fails exit with Artifact=null.

> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: buildsystem
> Affects Versions: 2.0-M4

> When trying to rebuild the configs in offline mode, several will fail due to
> Maven 2.0.5 not being able to find the metadata for the jars that we include
> in /repository, such as MyFaces. We need to include enough POM and metadata
> information so the build can be run in offline mode.... This may be a
> car-plugin bug, as I've seen other problems when you have
> maven-metadata-local.xml files in your repo instead of maven-metadata.xml,
> which will cause CAR builds to fail, but the corresponding modules will
> build.....
