[Artifactory-users] Cannot remove downloaded artifact from repo1 cache

[Thorsten H. <th...@gm...>]

Hi,

I've set up a local Artifactory proxy that works quite well for me. One of my POMs has a dependency to Apache Xerces 2.0.0 (yes, I know, quite old, but only that version is working for them) that was downloaded into the proxy from central repository. So far, so good.

Recently I downloaded Xerces 2.0.0, recompiled it and deployed it to my local repository together with the sources. The repository actually looks like:

Repositories
+ local-repo
|  ...
|  +- xerces
|     +- xercesImpl
|     |  |- 2.0.0
|     |  |  +- xercesImpl-2.0.0-sources.jar
|     |  |  +- xercesImpl-2.0.0-sources.pom
|     |  |  +- xercesImpl-2.0.0.jar
|     |  |  \- xercesImpl-2.0.0.pom
|     |  |  +- xercesImpl-2.0.0-sources.jar
|     |  |  +- xercesImpl-2.0.0-sources.pom
|     |  |
|     |  \- maven-metadata.xml
|     |
|     +- xmlParserAPIs
|        |- 2.0.0
|        |  +- xmlParserAPIs-2.0.0-sources.jar
|        |  +- xmlParserAPIs-2.0.0-sources.pom
|        |  +- xmlParserAPIs-2.0.0.jar
|        |  \- xmlParserAPIs-2.0.0.pom
|        |  +- xmlParserAPIs-2.0.0-sources.jar
|        |  +- xmlParserAPIs-2.0.0-sources.pom
|        |
|        \- maven-metadata.xml
...
+ repo1-cache
|  ...
|  +- xerces
|     +- xercesImpl
|     |  \- 2.0.0
|     |
|     +- xmlParserAPIs
|        \- 2.0.0

I can right-click as often as I want on "xerces" under "repo1-cache" and select "Remove" from the popup menu, but nothing happens. Artifactory only once removed the files under that groupId, but not the group itself. Doing the same under "local-repo" removes the group...

Is this a bug?
