Hi, We have a problem with artifact resolution in maven. We use our own artifact repositories, that are set as proxies. Those repositories are sometimes down and when we try to build anything then, the build fails with the following error:
[INFO] artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin: checking for updates from central [WARNING] repository metadata for: 'artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin' could not be retrieved from repository: central due to an error: Error transferring file [INFO] Repository 'central' will be blacklisted << Same warnings for other repos >> [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found When the repos are up again, the problem remains. When I look into .m2/repository/org/apache/.../maven-clean-plugin I see that there are metadata files containing empty version info. Only when we delete those files, the artifacts get updated and the build works again. I tried to reproduce this error and found out, that the problem does not occur when the proxies in settings.xml are set to non-existant hosts, but it does when they are set to hosts that are down (but resolvable). Has any of you encountered a similar problem? Is there any solution for that, other then removing all metadata files?
