Thanks Kalpak for response. The issue is that compilation fails when I try to
use anything specific to junit 4.8 in my junit test classes. Here is what is
happening:

> When I see the nexus proxy (or local) repository, after I do mvn clean and
> mvn compile, it is downloading 3.8.1, 3.8.2 and 4.8.1 versions from remote
> repository

> I can see these 3 versions in website of my local/procy repository as well
> in filesystem in //nexus/storage/MyRepository_dir

> mvn compile fails saying junit annotations is not recognized. I am
> assuming this is happening as it is not there in junit 3.8 version


Thanks
Sunil
