Hi Karl Heinz,
This all sounds like repository policies[1], so something that should be
part of Aether.
Disabling such repositories should prevent them from downloading.
(assuming --offline is not an option)
From a plugin of MavenProject point of view I'm not interested in the
logic behind it: either give me the artifacts or break the build if
they're not available.
I assume you're looking for some like timeToLive as an option for a
SNAPSHOT repository. Might be interesting to add that to the settings.xml.
Be aware that the repository also contains metadata, so simply removing an
artifact doesn't sounds like a good approach. Instead there should be a
very clear Exception that you cannot download a fresh SNAPSHOT even though
there are still versions available in the local repo.
thanks,
Robert

Hi,
If I do a mvn install with a project all artifacts are being installed
into my local cache..
The question I have:
Can I somehow identify if an artifact is already been in my local cache
or not (within a Maven plugin or extension)?
Something like:
if (artifact is in local cache) {
Do...
}
else
{
Do something different..
}
If I can check it somehow, can I furthermore check how long the
artifacts has been there based on the update policy ? So can i see ok
this artifact has been there since yesterday so it would make sense to
update it? (I assume based on modification date simply?)...
Furthermore is there a way to prevent downloading from remote repos if
the artifact is not in my local cache?
Kind regards
