"Empty" maven metadata files for a plugin

["Alan D. Cabrera" <li...@toolazydogs.com>]

Somehow, for my maven clean plugin, all of the maven metadata files  
look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><metadata>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-clean-plugin</artifactId>
</metadata>

This has been happening quite often lately whenever I do a build  
under a new linux account.  Does anyone know what causes this and  
what is the cure, other than trashing that plugin section of my local  
repo?


Regards,
Alan

It's a bug where when your network connection fails it still writes  
out metadata, then the next time you run maven thinks you have valid  
metadata and bombs. It's in JIRA somewhere.
