> Persistent maven caches on the mock slaves

> Key: OVIRT-751

> I think we need to design a way to retain maven caches on the mocked jenkins
> slaves. Currently it is stored inside the mock and thus maven downloads
> packages from artifactory server each time.
> However there is really no reason for that. Maven artifacts are designed to
> be immutable so once artifact is in the repo there is no trivial way to
> change it without creating a new version. In fact it should never be needed
> and the correct solution for that is to always create a new version.
> SNAPSHOOT artifacts are in fact timestamped and each one have different file
> name. It is just not visible since maven automatically takes the latest one.
> But it is not related to caching as the new snapshoot will be a new artifact
> still.
> So based on that point there is no reason to purge maven cache each time, but
> there are reasons why not to purge. Not purging them will reduce the build
> times of all java jobs and also reduce the network traffic we have.
