> I've been tracking some problems building jboss drools 5.1.0, specifically where Maven can't locate commons-net 2.1.
> http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/labs/labs/jbossrules/tags/5.1.0.34406.FINAL/pom.xml (search for commons-net)
> Looking in Maven central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/commons-net/commons-net/) I cannot find commons-net 2.1. Looking in the Maven-Central proxies from repository.sonatype.org and repository.jboss.org, however, I *did* find it. When I looked at the SVN tags for commons-net, I see that a 2.1 release was rolled back in July 2010. It appears that this release, while rolled back in SVN and on Maven central, has escaped into the wild before it could be un-released. Maven and most Maven repository managers will NOT re-check a non-snapshot version of an artifact once it's been downloaded. This is somewhat like trying to un-send an email...
> What this means is, if you release a "real" commons-net 2.1 sometime in the future, you're going to have a ton of confusion over which version of that artifact is in a user's Maven local repository and ultimately, his build classpath. I strongly urge you to change the next release version to 2.1.1 or something beyond 2.1, and simply write off that 2.1 version altogether.
