    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRM-872?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=141344#action_141344 ] 

nicolas de loof commented on MRM-872:
-------------------------------------

"empty" here is not for "blank", but for XML root with no child element.

The issue depends on the repository ordering in the group. The "first win" logic returns an empty metadata because the first repository didn't found the artifact with its proxies and created an empty metadata file. This may be considered to be a bug...

In any way, we MUST support metadatas merge for this use case :

A user has an issue with a maven plugin. As a nice guy, he creates an issue, attach a patch, but to get quick fix he deploys a snapshot to its corporate repo.

To get it using a group repository ("public" proxying public repos + "corporate"), we need to merge the metadatas from both repositories, so that the custom snapshot will get listed in metadatas + all available version on public snapshot repositories.

>          Issue Type: Bug

> Here is my configuration :
> {noformat} 
> group repository "maven"
>   +-- managed repository "releases"
>         +-- proxy connector to central
>         +-- proxy connector to dev.java.net
>         +-- proxy connector to jboss ...
>   +-- managed repository "private"
>         +-- proxy connector to corporate repository
>         +-- proxy connector to second corporate repository
> {noformat} 
> From a fresh new install, requesting "mvn eclipse:eclipse" fails with error :
> No versions are present in the repository for the artifact with a range [3.1.0,4.0.0)
> org.eclipse.core:resources:jar:null
> Browsing archvia/repository/maven/org/eclipse/core/resources/maven-metadata.xml returns a metadatafile with no entry.
> The metadata file in the "releases" repo (that merges all connectors metadatas) is correct with the expected versions available from central.
