> I see this all the time and I swear there was an issue for it, but now I
> can't find it. Sometimes there is metadata in the repo, usually after an
> offline build or a build where something went wrong downloading artifacts.
> Maven will apparently decide based on the metadata that the file can never be
> found and will simply fail on a missing artifact. You can tell this has
> happened because no attempt has actually been made to download the artifact
> from a repository. Subsequent clearing of (portions) the localrepo fixes the
> issue. This is terribly confusing to new users...and annoying to everyone.
