> Key: MNG-5528
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5528
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Command Line
> Affects Versions: 3.1.0
> Environment: any
> Reporter: Chris Erskine
> Assignee: Robert Scholte
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: issues to be reviewed for 3.0.6, 3.2.1
>
>
> When the 'mvn --help' command is used, the output for -U states "Forces a
> check for updated releases and snapshots on remote repositories". This
> confuses a lot of users into thinking that this option will update released
> versions of artifacts.
> Could this be changed to something like "Forces a check for updated snapshots
> on remote repositories"
> This would solve a number of problems that I have seen at different sites
> where people think they can patch a finally released artifact and it is
> updated in the local repository with the -U option.
> Updating the help text would then roll into documentation where the text is
> copied into it.
