Hi,
The Sakai project (http://sakaiproject.org) is deploying it's
artifacts against the Sonatype OSS repository and while this works
fine for Maven 3 builds anyone attempting to download the artifacts
using Maven 2.2.1 gets checksum errors against the maven-metadata.xml.
So far it seems that Maven 2.2.1 is not downloading the maven metadata
file directly but is somehow rebuilding the information in it (or
downloading it and stripping it). It's not easy to see if maven is
requesting the file as proxying https connection is hard. As the
metadata files are then different the checksums don't match.
It seems that the sonatype repository has a metadata file that
contains information about the additional artifacts such as the
sources and javadocs. The metadata about these artifacts isn't
supported by maven 2 and was added for maven 3. However maven 2 was
updated to ignore this extra information.
If I perform a build with maven 3 then the metadata gets updated
correctly and the checksums all match. After I've done a good build
with maven 3 performing another build which updated the snapshot
versions (-U switch) causes maven 2 to update the maven-meta to become
bad. Attached are the metadata that is in my local .m2 repo for maven
2 and maven 3.
