I also don't believe that Maven checks to see which SNAPSHOT is newer. Maven seems to always download it -- even if they are identical. Anyone have a definitive answer for this? I'm using 1.0-rc1.
Using the "-o" option isn't sufficient enough. I'd like to avoid downloading SNAPSHOT jars of my internal projects (or, I should say, I'd like to avoid overwriting the newer SNAPSHOT jar that exists in my local repository) but, at the same time, I need to have access to everything else in the repository. -adrian- -----Original Message----- From: Jörn Gebhardt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 1:19 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: AW: multiproject:artifact, SNAPSHOT dependencies and the reposito ry Hi, That's strange. We have exactly the same problem that Adrian described. I believe that Maven doesn't check any dates when resolving SHNAPSHOT dependencies, but just downloads the SNAPSHOT jar from the remote repository if it is there. I've posted a similar message some weeks ago and was advised to used the -o (offline) option of Maven (e.g. maven -o jar) to suppress the download from the remote server. Alternatively, you can set a property (I don't remember the property name, but it's documented somewhere...) in your local build.properties to switch to the offline mode.
