After all consideration.

Re: Remove old snapshots under local repository
I tend to use: mvn dependency:purge-local-repository when sitting in a project directory, it'll go thru and delete all the SNAPSHOTs and re-resolve. The only problem with it in the default mode, is that is _only_ deletes the `.jar`. files and doesn't rebuild any metadata, so if you're using version ranges you're kinda f**ked. However, I usually use it with the following setting: mvn dependency:purge-local-repository -DresolutionFuzziness=artifactId which will delete ALL files related to the artifact - all versions, all meta data - it doesn't mean there's more to download again but works wonderfully.

Re: Remove old snapshots under local repository
Sure it would. It's only the files that gets a timestamp; the directories are still called x.y.z-SNAPSHOT. However, be adviced that I've run into cases in the wild where the artifactId would end in -SNAPSHOT and this solution would remove such directories as well although it's could contain releases (and snapshots). Such a artifactId naming is not very good and kind of deserves to cause issues though... /Anders On Tue, Aug 19, 2014 at 7:28 AM, Dan Tran dant...@gmail.com wrote: This would not work, since it still leave all snapshot of timestamp around -D On Mon, Aug 18, 2014 at 2:10 AM, Adrien Rivard adrien.riv...@gmail.com wrote: Or delete all directories that end with -SNAPSHOT On Sun, Aug 17, 2014 at 8:18 AM, Dan Tran dant...@gmail.com wrote: sounds like a good option.

Re: Remove old snapshots under local repository
What's wrong with just blowing away ~/.m2/repository ? If you have a local Maven Repository Manager it doesn't take very long to reseed it. (At least less time in aggregate than thinking of ways to prune snapshot files in the repository correctly...)
