See http://maven.apache.org/ref/current/maven-model/maven.html and look at the pluginRepositories section. You could define ab updatePolicy of "never" and manually use --check-plugin-updates (or -cpu for short) to pull new plugin versions down when you need it. Alternatively you could try --no-plugin-updates (or -npu) to disable plugin checking. I know there are some outstanding issues that 3.0 may be attempting to resolve with plugins and dependencies. As you have noticed even though you have specified the version of the plugin (and you have that version locally) maven still goes off and checks for a newer version. I can't recall why that occurs but believe it is a known problem. Another alternative is to run nexus on you laptop so that it can intercept these issues and stop looking for newer versions. I dont run nexus so I can't help with specifics. There may be multi-hierarchy support available, or else you tweak your settings.xml to switch between your company's nexus and your local nexus when needed. Hope that helps. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
