             Summary: Maven Metadata corruption if directory role overlaps
                 Key: MNG-8106
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8106
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Artifacts and Repositories
    Affects Versions: 3.9.6, 3.9.5, 3.9.4, 3.9.3, 3.9.2, 3.9.1, 3.9.0
            Reporter: Tamas Cservenak
             Fix For: 3.9.7


In case certain directory role is manifold (which IS against best practices), 
data loss occurs. Metadata will contain this or that, but not both data.

Example: consider project producing these artifacts
 * org.foo:bar:1.0
 * org.foo.bar:baz:1.0

In this case, the local (and remote) repository path {{org/foo/bar}} that is a 
directory, will overlap in a way, it is G level for one artifact, and A level 
for another. Now, if org.foo.bar:baz is a Maven Plugin, the G level should 
contain plugin related (G level) metadata. At the same time, due org.foo:bar 
this directory should contain A level metadata (list of versions).
