Maven deployment is silent only for certain packages

So I have a layered Maven project. I am using maven version 3.0.3 and Sonatype Nexus 2.0.3 hosted on Tomcat 6.0.24. The project builds ( mvn clean install

) cleanly, but mvn deploy

fails on a random bundle halfway through. It also fails to manually deploy this package. I can use mvn deploy -rf :<next-bundle>

and deploy the rest of my artifacts, but this package fails to download. It also can't load if I mvn deploy

only do in that directory / project.

If I run mvn -X deploy

I get the following stack trace:

If this happens, exactly zero output will be sent to either the tomcat ( $tomcat_home/logs/catalina.out

) log or the Sonatype Nexus ( $tomcat_home/sonatype-work/nexus/logs/nexus.log

) logs , even if the Sonatype log level is set to DEBUG. The expected tree in the filesystem is completely empty and the Tomcat user has full permissions on the entire sonata processing tree. This behavior is consistent even if I rename this package. If I rename another project (the one that loads successfully with "mvn deploy") to fail-project-name, it works. There are no obvious items in the POM that are basically identical to all my other POMS; I am specifying a few dependencies and following the build steps for cxf-codegen and maven-bundle-plugin.

Any thoughts? Any suggestions on how to debug this?
