------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks. Due to some basic conditions, I cannot add a dependencyManagement
section to the underlying POM now. I call the Maven goal
{{com.this:com.that:go}} from the command line (the executed Maven plugin has
those dependencies defined as version ranges in its POM(s)). I've tried now to
add the called plugin {{com.this:com.that}}, in the used version, to the
"build" section of my POM and added "dependency" elements in its dependencies
plugin section to nail down the exact versions to use. Unfortunately, again,
all dependencies are checked again for updates and roundtrips to the binary
repo occur. :-( Any idea how to get rid of these roundtrips?
Thank you.

Thanks. I call the Maven goal {{com.this:com.that:go}} from the command line,
and the executed Maven plugin has these dependencies defined as version ranges
in its POM(s). What's the recommended way to cope with that scenario and to
apply your tips? Maybe to add the called 3rd party plugin to the "build"
section of my POM and adding "dependency" elements in that plugin section to
nail down the exact versions to use? Thank you.
> Continuous download of maven-metadata.xml for version ranges.

> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Dependencies
> Affects Versions: 3.2.2
> Reporter: Michael Hüttermann
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: MNG-5997.zip

>
> With every first build of the day, Maven downloads *maven-metadata.xml* from
> remote repository. Generally, this is ok since the default update policy
> enforces an update. But: the daily synced dependency artifacts are release
> artifacts, in the declaration form of:
> {code}
> <dependency>
> <groupId>com.this</groupId>
> <artifactId>com.that</artifactId>
> <version>[1.0.0,1.0.1)</version>
> <type>jar</type>
> </dependency>
> {code}
> So looks like the daily roundtrips are performed since there are version
> ranges defined?! Since there are hundreds of dependencies, this takes a
> pretty long time, and nothing did change, operationally, because I've already
> downloaded all required dependencies.
> Please suppress these daily roundtrips of downloading *maven-metadata.xml*,
> for that use case, in general a check for new updates should be applied of
> cause (thus just using the offline mode is not a solution).
