Hi Why does Maven do project dependency downloads for the multiproject:clean and scm:checkout-project goals? These goals require no dependencies as they don't build anything.
Assume project-A depends on project-B, and that project-B has never been built before, therefore project-B will NOT exist in either the local or remote repository. The problem is this... I just want to clean up and check out fresh source trees from CVS. Then I want to call multiproject:install to do my build. But because Maven does dependency downloads from the repository on cleans and checkouts when project-A is being checked out, the build fails because it's looking for a project-B-SNAPSHOT.jar. Q1: How can I prevent project dependency downloads for the multiproject:clean and scm:checkout-project goals? Q2: Would the use of scm:bootstrap-project be a prefered solution?
