Hi My maven POM module has a couple of artifacts to be deployed. Here is the order of deployment
[INFO] --- maven-deploy-plugin:2.8.2:deploy (default-deploy) @ brs-installer --- [INFO] Downloading: http://mycomp.com:8081/myrepo/snapshots/com/mycomp/brs/installer/brs-installer/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml [INFO] Downloaded: http://mycomp.com:8081/myrepo/snapshots/com/mycomp/brs/installer/brs-installer/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml (994 B at 44.1 KB/sec) [INFO] Uploading: http://mycomp.com:8081/myrepo/snapshots/com/mycomp/brs/installer/brs-installer/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/brs-installer-1.0.0-20160108.090346-509.pom [INFO] Uploaded: http://mycomp.com:8081/myrepo/snapshots/com/mycomp/brs/installer/brs-installer/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/brs-installer-1.0.0-20160108.090346-509.pom (12 KB at 3.3 KB/sec) [INFO] Downloading: http://mycomp.com:8081/myrepo/snapshots/com/mycomp/brs/installer/brs-installer/maven-metadata.xml [INFO] Downloaded: http://mycomp.com:8081/myrepo/snapshots/com/mycomp/brs/installer/brs-installer/maven-metadata.xml (545 B at 24.2 KB/sec) [INFO] Uploading: http://mycomp.com:8081/myrepo/snapshots/com/mycomp/brs/installer/brs-installer/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml [INFO] Uploaded: http://mycomp.com:8081/myrepo/snapshots/com/mycomp/brs/installer/brs-installer/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml (1004 B at 122.6 KB/sec) [INFO] Uploading: http://mycomp.com:8081/myrepo/snapshots/com/mycomp/brs/installer/brs-installer/maven-metadata.xml [INFO] Uploaded: http://mycomp.com:8081/myrepo/snapshots/com/mycomp/brs/installer/brs-installer/maven-metadata.xml (545 B at 2.5 KB/sec) [INFO] Uploading: http://mycomp.com:8081/myrepo/snapshots/com/mycomp/brs/installer/brs-installer/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/brs-installer-1.0.0-20160108.090346-509-build.xml [INFO] Uploaded: http://mycomp.com:8081/myrepo/snapshots/com/mycomp/brs/installer/brs-installer/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/brs-installer-1.0.0-20160108.090346-509-build.xml (14 KB at 86.0 KB/sec) [INFO] Uploading: http://mycomp.com:8081/myrepo/snapshots/com/mycomp/brs/installer/brs-installer/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml [INFO] Uploaded: http://mycomp.com:8081/myrepo/snapshots/com/mycomp/brs/installer/brs-installer/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml (1004 B at 140.1 KB/sec) [INFO] Uploading: http://mycomp.com:8081/myrepo/snapshots/com/mycomp/brs/installer/brs-installer/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/brs-installer-1.0.0-20160108.090346-509.ova [INFO] Uploaded: http://mycomp.com:8081/myrepo/snapshots/com/mycomp/brs/installer/brs-installer/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/brs-installer-1.0.0-20160108.090346-509.ova (4044494 KB at 34899.1 KB/sec) [INFO] Uploading: http://mycomp.com:8081/myrepo/snapshots/com/mycomp/brs/installer/brs-installer/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml [INFO] Uploaded: http://mycomp.com:8081/myrepo/snapshots/com/mycomp/brs/installer/brs-installer/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml (1004 B at 98.0 KB/sec) The issue here, after the POM, maven-metadata.xml is followed, the subsequent deployments are large artifacts ( ~4G) The issue here if user attempts to download the latest snapshot while the large artifact still in the middle of upload, the download will fail with not found error Does it make sense to enhance maven deploy plugin to deploy maven-metadata.xml last?
