not able to build EAP 8 image

[StevenCane]

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately, it’s currently not possible to build an EAP 8 image. After the build script fails, I see the following error in the logs:

Can you confirm whether the build works on your side?
I’ve encountered this issue with versions 8.0.0, 8.0.4, and "8.0.6".

Any suggestions?

I'm not part of this project, but I can confirm this is happening in my builds for version 8.0.4.

These builds appeared to be working early last week, however.

My intention is to locally modify the src/settings.xml to rely on the offline repos RH provides.

Edit: Our workaround was to issue this prior to running the build-eap8.sh script:

mvn -s "eap-build/src/settings.xml" \
      "dependency:get" \
      "-DremoteRepositories=https://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga" \
      "-Dartifact=org.jboss:jboss-parent:36:pom"

This shouldn't be necessary based on the state of the repositories (org.jboss:jboss-parent:36:pom is and has been in the GA repo), but it does the trick.
