Hi Olivier, Thanks for quick reply. I understand now why files are present in past (Archiva 1.3) ... when plugins have been deployed.
I will correct problem manually and work to a consumer.

Those metadata file are generated/uploaded by Maven when you deploy the plugin (and not by Archiva) So Archiva is not supposed to do that. Writing a consummer to repair that sounds a good idea. For 1.4. and coming 2.0.x see documentation here: http://archiva.apache.org/docs/1.4-M4/customising/writing-consumer.html If the documentation is not complete or clear enough (which can be possible :-) ), do not hesitate to ask questions. > (I "suppose" this process was ok in Archiva 1.3, some intermediary metadata > are always present, generated before version migration). > > Thanks in advance for any advice. > Best regards. > > Alix Lourme -- Olivier Lamy Ecetera: http://ecetera.com.au http://twitter.com/olamy | http://linkedin.com/in/olamy
