Well, it's getting slightly off topic, but maybe not. With Maven, I strongly recommend you *totally* wipe out the local Maven cache (aka repository, misleadingly named) on a regular basis. Like once a week or so. You could have a local release version, that has actually been built only locally. So

I do similar to Eric for jenkins. But also for both developer builds and jenkins, I've got all projects setup to use the http://www.mojohaus.org/build-helper-maven-plugin/remove-project-artifact-mojo.html plugin. With both a default and clean phase execution. So when either jenkins or a developer

I have my jenkins jobs designed to use private m2 repos per job. I dont find the need to delete them since the only transient changes are the snapshots, which get reevaluated at every build anyhow. Thanks Eric On Sep 11, 2017 2:43 PM, "Stephen Connolly"

I had to delete a directory once as i had pressed Ctrl-C while it was downloading jars and a 0kb jar was created. This was in 2013, maybe it downloads to a temp file and then create the final file? It took sometime to debug. Builds were failing for no reason only on that test box, but working fine

when every your running out of disk space you can also use this plugin http://www.mojohaus.org/build-helper-maven-plugin/remove-project-artifact-mojo.html so when you do a clean or a install, it will also remove that project from your local repo. e.g. if your building a JEE project or other war

Rice, You can delete it anytime you like. The cost is that the next time you run maven it will take time to download all the dependencies. Still it is a reasonable way of resetting your maven, and clearing out old dependencies that you no longer use in your projects. Regards Richard On 1
