------------------------------------
Summary: Fix behaviour of the maven update policy
Key: MNG-7802
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7802
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Guillaume Nodet
Assignee: Guillaume Nodet
The update policy can be specified using the {{-U}} (force update) or {{-nsu}}
(no update) options, but those options change the whole repository session
policy and override any settings on the repositories.
This means that if {{-U}} is set, the resolver will attempt to check already
downloaded artifacts. This is wrong and the behaviour has been inherited from
maven 2.x.
What we really wants (and what's implied by the name of the options and docs)
is to check for new artifacts / updates, so this mainly affect _version
resolution_ and not {_}artifact resolution{_}.
