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.
My use case is in my incremental module builder to identify
automatically if a user has made the initial "mvn install" (which is
needed at the moment or using the SNAPSHOT's from remote repository)
...if not i could say and end with an appropriate error message...
But I'm not sure if this is a good idea to limit it in that way ? Or
just let the user decide to run mvn install or not ?
May be I'm on the wrong path...
Need to think about that a little bit more...
Thanks for your answer...
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
