Hi, one main reason why it is hard to find wrong deps is because all our SNAPSHOTs are available in the Apache SNAPSHOT repo. Even if I delete everything from my local repo I am unable to detect certain POM version problems because the SNAPSHOTs of old version are downloaded from the repo even if not available in the build.
Building with -o (offline) is not an option since others deps to released versions need to be resolved. Anyone an idea how to deactivate the Apache SNAPSHOT repo locally? It is defined in the apache parent POM. One alternative: Do we really need to publish SNAPSHOTs? At least I have no use for them. If I want SNAPSHOTs I build them myself. But others may use them. WDYT? Best, - Fabian -- Fabian http://twitter.com/fctwitt
