Related to GRADLE-3015 Incorrect artifact file resolved from... Resolved

 Description   

This is very likely the same as GRADLE-3015, where the incorrect artifact file is retrieved from the cache. In this case, the requested artifact is a POM file and the returned artifact a Jar file, resulting in "Content is not allowed in prolog" when attempting to parse the POM.

The offending cache file is `artifact-at-repository.bin`. This cache was discovered on one of the Gradle CI servers, and has been attached to this issue. On OSX this file is detected as being corrupt, which permits Gradle to clean it up and continue. On Linux however, this cache file produces the incorrect artifact file when a particular Parent POM is requested, resulting in incorrect behaviour.

Output for this failure condition on OSX and Linux can be viewed here:

To reproduce this issue, clone the Gradle repository for the 2.14-rc-2 release, and replace the cache file `caches/modules-2/metadata-2.16/artifact-at-repository.bin` with the attached 'artifact-at-repository.bin' file.
