Wierd archive deployed?
I had trouble working on the javadoc plugin in IntelliJ, and this
response came back from their support person.
What's special about this artifact? Should I see if making a new
release will fix it?
Quote starts here:
This issue occurs because
...\.m2\repository\org\apache\maven\maven-toolchain\1.0\maven-toolchain-1.0.jar
file has some weird archive format that IDEA cannot read:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2752840/screens/snap2142-1347566987.png .
If you look inside this jar with any external unpacker, you'll find
that it contains empty file entries that match directories.
So it's some Maven packaging issue that affects IDEA ability to
properly read this jar.
I don't think that we'll want to invest resources into fixing this
issue, it should be rather fixed in the Maven repository.

I used to.
Anyway, luckily for us, the newer versions of the toolchain jar do not
upset them, so I updated m-j-p's dependency.

But seriously, a Zip file has "directory" entries in it. They can be a File
entry, that points to a file's contents, or a Directory entry.
If the (empty) directory entries are not there, then most archive tools
simply go ahead and create the path and then the file anyway.
Having the Directory entries there is not unique to maven's archiver.
In short, IntelliJ need to fix their code. They should be able to handle
that situation.
