                 Key: MNG-3353
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3353
             Project: Maven 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.0.8
            Reporter: Paul Gier


If a project has dependencies on snapshot versions of other projects, it would 
be helpful if maven could give some kind of warning when the snapshot version 
is removed.
For example project a depends on B-SNAPSHOT

A -> B-SNAPSHOT

If project B is released, and the snapshot version is removed from the snapshot 
repository, the next time project A checks for updates (based on the update 
policy) maven should give a warning that the jar is no longer in the repository 
where it was downloaded from.

This would help in keeping dependencies up to date.
