Why on earth is the jboss metadata repository depending on JBoss Cache? Besides being a totally broken idea (integration with non-trivial projects should be done in seperate projects), not least because it introduces many circular dependencies jboss as -> jboss-mdr -> jboss cache -> jbossas Even if jboss cache is fixed to use a proper integration api for jbossas you still have jboss cache -> micrcocontainer -> jboss-mdr -> jboss cache Also, the microcotainer build is broken because the jboss-mdr is snapshot is out of date in the repository. I'm fixing this. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4162815#... Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&a...
