Description

Trying to deploy to a Nexus staging repository using Aether yields

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.4:deploy (default-deploy) [...]
Failed to retrieve remote metadata [...]
Error transferring file: Server returned HTTP response code: 400 for URL [...]

The issue is caused by the combination of
a) Aether first trying to fetch the remote metadata (instead of PUTting something first)
b) Nexus returning a 400 (instead of 404) for the requested metadata
