This issue is because Maven doesn't handle redirects correctly (see MNG-4428). I'm guessing that you are using JBoss's old Maven repo and that the artifact you're trying to get has been migrated to their new Nexus-based repo. In that process they've put a redirect on the old repo, which Maven cannot handle correctly. Thus the malformed/incorrect pom you have.
I suggest that you contact JBoss/Red Hat and inform them of this issue. We had the same problem at Codehaus Cargo when we migrated to Codehaus' Nexus instance. The solution we put in place what that the user agent is checked so that for Maven a 404 is returned, while all other agents gets the redirect. For you to fix your build, you need to start using JBoss' new Maven repo. There's info about this at the JBoss wiki. /Anders On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 10:28, mnenchev <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I am having strange problem with my maven build since yesterday.
