Maven install generates meta-data-local.xml instead of meta-data.xml

When I run maven install -o -X, maven puts the output (a jar) to the .m2 folder. The problem is that in my case this generates a metadata file named "maven-metadata-local.xml". When I reference this artifact from another maven build, maven complains that the metadata file "maven-metadata.xml" cannot be found (at the exact same location).
So basically I have to questions:
Where does the "-local" part come from and what does it exactly mean?
How to I make this build work, i.e. tell maven to name the meta-data file "maven-metadata.xml" while building the first artifact or tell maven to look for the file "maven-metadata-local.xml" when resolving the dependencies in the second build?
The dependency in the second pom is:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>a.b.c</groupId>
<artifactId>d</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
the location of the jar in the local .m2 directory is
.m2/a/b/c/d/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/d-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
Here is the error message:

My environment is the following:

I launch the command:
mvn sonar:sonar -Dsonar.verbose=true
and it fails as reported here below.
If I insert the file MyFileName.java (ref. backtrace) in the SonarQube Global Source File Exclusions, then the process goes ahead, up to a next file (likely to a next file that needs to be traced because it's affected by some issue) and it fails again with the same symptoms.
There's no specific trace in the sonar.log file.
Same results with:
mvn org.codehaus.mojo:sonar-maven-plugin:2.6:sonar -Dsonar.verbose=true
The main project I'm trying to analyse is very wide and the "module" that is failing is the 103rd one; this is only to say that there are several modules already processed in the previous stages without any sonar failures.
Any suggestions on how I could investigate this issue?

I also had this issue and found that upgrading (from 5.2) to SonarQube 5.3 resolved it. This suggests that the issue is related to a bug with 5.2 however I have not been able to track down the specific fix. I'll update this answer with a link to the Jira if I find it

Neo4j 2.1.6 Hello World in NetBeans maven project

My configuration is :
* OS : Windows 8
* Neo4j community 2.1.6 (latest stable)
* IDE : NetBeans 8.0.2 (latest)
* java -version
java version "1.8.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)
I created a maven Java project and put the Hello world example provided by Neo4j guys for the appropriate version.
I added all the main dependencies (neo4j-kernel 2.1.6) and maven transitively added the remaining dependencies.
Build process is 100% OK
I still get a the following exception at runtime :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Error starting org.neo4j.kernel.EmbeddedGraphDatabase, C:\Users\Mehdy\Documents\NetBeansProjects\neo4j-example\target\neo4j-hello-db
I looked in the stack trace and I found $EmbeddedGraphDatabase constructor is deprecated.

I don't think it's a dependency problem but the use of a deprecated method. How can I get rid of this code snippet and use something compliant neo4j 2.1.6 ?
I tried different solutions found in SO, but still the same result.
What should I do to make this work ?

You're missing a dependency. Neo4j requires a schema index provider which is located in neo4j-lucene-index. Since it's an exchangeable component (you can write your own index provider) it's bundled in a separate artifact.
Amend your dependencies in pom.xml with:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.neo4j</groupId>
<artifactId>neo4j-lucene-index</artifactId>
<version>2.1.6</version>
</dependency>
If you only want to have one single dependency for all neo4j stuff in your pom.xml use:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.neo4j</groupId>
<artifactId>neo4j-community</artifactId>
<version>2.1.6</version>
</dependency>

Maven build fails with error: Could not find artifact ... at specified path - where the path is slightly incorrect

Running this command:
mvn package -Pcdh4
Here's the error in maven:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project hdfs-nfs-proxy:
Could not resolve dependencies for project
com.cloudera:hdfs-nfs-proxy:jar:0.8.1:
Could not find artifact jdk.tools:jdk.tools:jar:1.6 at specified path
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/../lib/tools.jar -> [Help 1]
It's the last line in the path where /../ it goes back a directory, the path should be:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/tools.jar
I don't know much about maven or where it's picking up this path, I'm just trying to follow some build instructions.

Your JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK, not a JRE : tools.jar is a lib located in the lib directory of the JDK.

In Linux/Ubuntu box install Sun JDK and point JAVA_HOME to installed JDK.

Jenkins org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.0.2

I'm running Jenkins to build up a Maven project, and I'm getting the following error, which I have no clue how to solve. I have spent an entire day searching through Google and here, but nothing seems to work.
Thanks in advance for your help and guidance.

This looks strange. Are you sure this is correct? Maybe try to use the same version.

The JAVA_HOME should not point to the jre folder. Try with
JAVA_HOME=/var/lib/jenkins/tools/JDK/Java_1.7.0_04/

I created a description for this under this link:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/17683183/1068938
In most of the cases it is a UTF-8 conversion problem
I hope it will help you.
