error in opening zip file

[Kurt Williams]

I'm having a really strange problem:

I have a multi-module sbt project containing libraries that I do a publish locally. 

Every once in a while the jar file is really a POM file! meaning if you open it with a text editor you seem the XML.

I thought I was going crazy until one of my co-workers complained about the same thing.

Earlier posts said something about Ivy being unable to access a url, but since I am using my local repository this shouldn't be a problem?

Has anyone else encountered this?

Thanks for any help you can offer.
