Hi,
Virtual repository generates merged maven metadata based on the repositories
it aggregates.
In your case, you use the global virtual repository (/repo) which aggregates
all the repositories.
If you only want to use release repositories, the best way is to use virtual
repositories that include
only release repositories (e.g., the default libs-release virtual
repository). This way, the virtual repository
won't "see" the snapshot and it will not be included in the returned maven
metadata.
By the way, in your case you encounter a bug in Maven 2 that tries to
resolve snapshot even when
you disable snapshot for the plugins repository. Maven 3 solved it.
Cheers,
Yossi
