The problem appears to be in how the maven client is deploying artifacts to your central repository (Archiva). It's using HTTP and in certain situations will corrupt the checksum signature of the file.

Try changing your local maven settings file to look something like this, which for me was located in ~/.m2/settings.xml

  
    
      my-server
      
        
          
            
              
                http.authentication.preemptive
                %b,true
              
            
          
        
      
    
  

After you make that change, redeploy the artifacts to your central repo, then try to run mvn dependency:resolve in your local project to see if the checksum errors still happen.
