Peter Petersson commented on GERONIMO-2993:
-------------------------------------------

I run into this problem (having maven-metadata-local.xml files instead of maven-metadata.xml files) with a relatively fresh local 2.0.5 maven repository during work on a Geronimo Roller Plugin see GERONIMO-2994. As I had problems getting the plugin function finding the modules in my local repository I started to trace things in the PluginInstallerGBean and found that the problem could be fixed with a small (actually 2) modification to  the findArtifact method (see the included "PluginInstallerGBean.patch" in GERONIMO-2994 for deatils). 

For some reason (unknown to me) maven creates maven-metadata-local.xml files instead of maven-metadata.xml files in some cases and without modifying this method (findArtifact) I could not test install and work on the plugin using the local maven repository. 
The "patch" is pretty simple and works like this:
If findArtifact fails to look up the maven-metadata.xml file it will, instead of exit with null, first look up the maven-metadata-local.xml file and only if that also fails exit with Artifact=null.

> When trying to rebuild the configs in offline mode, several will fail due to Maven 2.0.5 not being able to find the metadata for the jars that we include in /repository, such as MyFaces.  We need to include enough POM and metadata information so the build can be run in offline mode....  This may be a car-plugin bug, as I've seen other problems when you have maven-metadata-local.xml files in your repo instead of maven-metadata.xml, which will cause CAR builds to fail, but the corresponding modules will build.....
