Description

Use case :

• I want to use idl-maven-plugin 1.1-SNPASHOt from codehaus
• In archiva I have a group (snapshots) with behind a managed repository (snapshots-proxy) which proxify http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org/
• When I launch the build of the project, archiva download metadata for 1.1-SNAPSHOT from codehaus in maven-metadata-codehaus-snapshots.xml which is fine
• But it creates an empty maven-metadata.xml
• Maven receive this empty file and try to download 1.1-SNAPSHOT artifacts instead of the last timestamp.

I attach :

• A minimal project which uses a local archiva
• The achiva config file (be careful to deactivate/change the network proxy)
• maven-metadata-codehaus-snapshots.xml and maven-metadata.xml
