Dear valued Maven Developers I would greatly appreciate if someone could shed a more detailed light on the algorithm/strategy behind snapshot checking/downloading.
I already posted this on the user list, but did not receive a reaction: http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/maven-downloads-snapshots-even-if-they-have-not-changed-td136030.html. We basically fight with the same problem as is described in these (unanswered) questions: http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Snapshot-download-frequency-always-is-too-much-td89643.html http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Dependencies-downloading-for-snapshot-in-Maven-2-0-5-and-up-td87906.html http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/maven-downloading-SNAPSHOTs-which-have-not-changed-td126870.html http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Snapshot-updates-versus-local-repo-td87299.html Regards Reto Höhener
