I would like to take this issue. I propose a focused documentation update covering both the settings reference and the -U/--update-snapshots help text: - clarify that updatePolicy controls how often Maven checks remote repository metadata; - state that, for release repositories, an existing artifact with the same groupId, artifactId, and version is not replaced in the local repository, while metadata may still be refreshed for version and range resolution; - distinguish this from snapshots, where newer timestamped artifacts may be downloaded; - make the -U help text explicit that it forces checks for missing releases and updated snapshots, but does not overwrite an existing release artifact. I will keep the wording aligned with Maven Resolver behavior and make the smallest possible text-only change. If this direction matches the intended fix, I will prepare the patch. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
