i m using maven 2.0.9 and recently i have shifted my repository to sonatype nexus 1.9.0.2 from archiva.
I have migrated all the necessary artifcats to sonatype nexus as explained in their docs and found no errors while rebuilding any indexes whatsoever in the logs. The migration was successful. However, while deploying one of the project, i get following error.. [INFO] Scanning for projects...
