    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBBUILD-682?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12605705#comment-12605705 ] 

Marek Schmidt commented on JBBUILD-682:
---------------------------------------

My problem was that this repository was configured in some dependency of some outdated version of some jboss artifact.  (probably it was org.jboss.jbossas:jboss-as-client:6.0.0.20100911-M5 or some of its dependency). It looks like quite a lot of poms from the nexus repository declare the http://repository.jboss.org/maven2/ repository

The build fails for anybody outside of redhat, but works for me, which made it difficult to diagnose the problem.

Furthermore, I have noticed a page

http://community.jboss.org/wiki/MavenSettings

Where you state

{quote}
As of April 2010, the JBoss Community no longer uses the old repository URL.
http://repository.jboss.org/maven2/
This URL will remain available indefinitely for compatibility with old builds.

;)

Now, it is a good thing that it didn't work, as it made me realize the outdated dependency, but if that is the purpose of the repository not working, maybe it should be configured exactly the opposite way: not working for people in redhat, and available for people outside, for compatibility reasons :)

> The legacy maven repository http://repository.jboss.org/maven2/ is serving HTTP 403 to hosts outside RedHat VPN, causing lots of builds to fail.

> Access denied to: http://repository.jboss.org/maven2/trove/trove/2.1.1/trove-2.1.1.pom
