buildr upload doesn't create maven-metadata.xml

Question

I'm trying out buildr on two projects - one has a dependency on the other.

buildr upload seems to work ok on project1 but when project2 tries to build it looks for project1/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml in my repo, which doesn't exist.

Should I create the maven-metadata.xml file manually? It's not mentioned in the buildr docs.

Here's the output from builder on project2:

Yes, buildr doesn't create this type of Maven artifacts.
