Description of problem: Some artifacts (with identical GAV) that are present both in 5.3 Maven repo and 6.0 Maven repo differ binary (e.g. different .class files) e.g. http://download.devel.redhat.com/brewroot/repos/soa-brms-6-build/latest/maven/org/sonatype/aether/aether-connector-wagon/1.13.1/ http://download.devel.redhat.com/brewroot/repos/soa-brms-5.3-updates-build/latest/maven/org/sonatype/aether/aether-connector-wagon/1.13.1/ As discussed with Julian, 6.0 repo should contain the exact same artifacts as 5.3 repo. List of artifacts that might binary differ in 5.3 and 6.0 repos: org/apache/maven/maven-repository-metadata/3.0.3/maven-repository-metadata-3.0.3.jar org/sonatype/aether/aether-api/1.13.1/aether-api-1.13.1.jar org/apache/maven/maven-compat/3.0.3/maven-compat-3.0.3.jar org/sonatype/aether/aether-connector-wagon/1.13.1/aether-connector-wagon-1.13.1.jar org/sonatype/aether/aether-connector-file/1.13.1/aether-connector-file-1.13.1.jar org/sonatype/aether/aether-spi/1.13.1/aether-spi-1.13.1.jar aopalliance/aopalliance/1.0/aopalliance-1.0.jar org/apache/maven/maven-aether-provider/3.0.3/maven-aether-provider-3.0.3.jar org/apache/maven/maven-model-builder/3.0.3/maven-model-builder-3.0.3.jar org/beanshell/bsh/2.0b4/bsh-2.0b4.jar org/apache/maven/maven-artifact/3.0.3/maven-artifact-3.0.3.jar org/apache/maven/maven-model/3.0.3/maven-model-3.0.3.jar org/sonatype/aether/aether-util/1.13.1/aether-util-1.13.1.jar org/apache/maven/maven-core/3.0.3/maven-core-3.0.3.jar org/apache/maven/maven-settings/3.0.3/maven-settings-3.0.3.jar org/apache/maven/maven-settings-builder/3.0.3/maven-settings-builder-3.0.3.jar org/sonatype/aether/aether-impl/1.13.1/aether-impl-1.13.1.jar Note: There could be false positives in the list and also more artifacts could be affected, the above are just artifacts found in B[PR]MS.
Note, that artifacts from Maven Central and from JBoss won't be included in the shipped IP 6.x repository.
We can't fix the 5.x artifacts at this point. Also, the impact is not visible to users (5.x artifacts were not shipped).
