Hi,

Rebuild speed in 0.11 of a large multi-module project is quite slow, perhaps
due to trying to download source artifacts.  This is particularly noticeable
after forcing a refresh in Eclipse of the projects.  Typically, after
synchronizing my Eclipse workspace with the version control system, it is
necessary to Refresh the projects in Eclipse.

This tends to send the Maven plugin sideways for quite a while (sometimes
over 20 minutes) in what seems like frequent and repeated attempts to
download the java-source artifacts.  It is very useful to have the java
source artifacts available, but for many open source dependencies, the
source is not available.  In such situations, it seems like m2Eclipse will
repeatedly attempt to contact the repository to download the artifacts.

Is there anything that can be done to remember artifacts that are
unavailable?  It would seem that this could be done in memory so that
restarting Eclipse would have the benefit of looking again in case artifacts
become available.

Regards,
Tim
