Ok, I want to validate various aspects of the project without going network since there are a lot of modules, some of them quite big, and they get rebuilt every day, so its hundreds of Mb that get updated. I want to check the well-formedness of the pom.xml files, sort them, also run a yak4j-filename-conventions-maven-plugin, etc. All things to do with the integrity of the files and the configuration model that's unrelated to classes and dependencies. Probably a lot of these should actually be handled with git hooks, but for various reasons that's not currently an option. I'm looking for a button to push that will say "All SNAPSHOT versions are equal". And you can add to that "from any repository". I get why you wouldn't want to introduce that though. Thanks for answering. Delany
