> One of our repositories contains the following maven-metadata.xml
> {code}
> <metadata>
> <plugins>
> <plugin>
> <name>Maven CDM Plugin</name>
> <prefix>cdm</prefix>
> <artifactId>maven-cdm-plugin</artifactId>
> </plugin>
> <plugin>
> <name>Maven CDM Flex Plugin</name>
> <prefix>cdm-flex</prefix>
> <artifactId>maven-cdm-flex-plugin</artifactId>
> </plugin>
> </plugins>
> </metadata>
> {code}
> Notice that there is *no* "groupId" element.
> This file will be delivered correctly when it is requested via the URL /archiva/repository/continous-integration/com/icw/cdm/plugins/maven-metadata.xml from the containing repository "continous-integration".
> Now I tried to use the new feature of repository groups creating a new group named "overall" containing the repository "continous-integration" and others. None of the other repositories contains the above artifacts.
> When Maven or a request from a browser is done to the URL /archiva/repository/overall/com/icw/cdm/plugins/maven-metadata.xml the attached stack trace is shown in the browser.
> I searched the source code and at the location RepositoryMetadataWriter.java:77 the following code is executed:
> {code}
> root.addElement( "groupId" ).setText( metadata.getGroupId() );
> {code}
> This must fail, because the maven-metadata.xml does *not* contain a "groupId".
> How can I use the repository group feature with such a maven-metadata.xml file?
