Anders Hammar commented on MNG-5362:
------------------------------------
Just to add, the "-U" flag should force and if you would provide a patch
(including ITs) solving any current issues with non-unique snapshots it could
be added. But, unique snapshots is the way forward IMO.
> Option to always download SNAPSHOT from remote repo
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-5362
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5362
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Venkata
> Priority: Minor
>
> It should be possible for a project to always download a remote SNAPSHOT
> artifact when mentioned as part of the dependency.
> Consider our scenario, where we have two projects - projA and projB, projA
> depends on projB - under active development.
> CI Builds happen on a cluster of 4 servers. ProjB ends up throwing errors
> very frequently because latest of ProjA would have been compiled on a
> different server than ProjB.
> For organizational reasons, we cannot make our Artifactory repo to use
> 'Nonunique snapshots', i.e. we need the artifact name to be same for each
> update in Maven repo.
> I am pretty sure that many people out there have been facing the same issue.
> There are other solutions, but all of them are equally frustrating.
> It would be nice to have an updatePolicy of 'force' or something which will
> always reach out to latest snapshot version.
> Thanks.
