Hello, I'm currently using maven 2.0.9. I've got a project X which uses a Plugin my-plugin with version 1.0-SNAPSHOT. How do I force maven to update this plugin from the repository, no matter what? I tried the following: make some changes to the plugin, build it with >mvn package and upload the newly created .jar to the repository. I do that, because I want to simulate the situation on the build server, on which I cant just compile the latest version of my plugin. Now when I try to build project X with >mvn package -U, I get something like [INFO] snapshot group:my-plugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT: checking for updates from m2repo-plugins but nothing is downloaded, I checked the .jar in my local repository, but it's unchanged.
I found that it's possible to recreate (or something like that) the local repository with >mvn dependency:purge-local-repository However, this only seems to work if I create a <dependency/>-entry for my plugin and even if I do that, it's not really a good solution, since I cannot run a command like that on our build server. Then I found this issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2839 It's a bit different than my problem, so I'm not sure if I'm actually facing the same problem. So my question is: Is there any quick solution to this problem, did I miss something or do I just have to wait for the Fix Version 2.2.x as described in the issue? Thanks, Sven
