Put the artifacts in a repository manager where you download the released artifact once and then manage it from your infrastructure. Once the artifact is within your infrastructure the released artifact is not going to change unless someone from within your organization changes it. They shouldn't, and can't if your permissions are setup correctly, and so the requirement of using the same artifacts and their origin becomes moot. If your organization cares that much about liability concerns then you absolutely should not be connecting to the outside world every time you build. > On Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 12:57 PM, Manos Batsis > <manos_li...@geekologue.com>wrote: > >> On 07/30/2010 07:16 PM, Wayne Fay wrote: >> >>> is there a way to force a project to refresh certain dependencies every >>>> build? i.e. replicate SNAPSHOT behaviour with "released" artifacts >>>> >>> >>> Absolutely not.
