Hi We have a jar repository that was created a while back during the maven one time. It is not a maven repo. Now that we are slowly migrating to maven 2/3, we create a wrapper around the repo to be able to send artifact to way maven expects them. This will disappear once all our projects are migrated to maven. We use nexus as our main repo.
The problem we are having, is that even if there is a new version of a SNAPSHOT, the newer version is not downloaded. We added the updatePolicy to always for all our snapshot repos and it works for Nexus but not "our repo". We are trying to understand how it works to be able to mimic the behavior. We saw the request for the metadata.xml come and we thought that it was the solution to our problem, but it seems that we are missing something. The way we understood the format of this file is as follow <metadata> <groupId>the group id</groupId> <artifactId>the artifact id</artifactId> <versioning> <versions> <version></version> <version></version> <version></version> ... </versions> <lastUpdated>the formatted timestamp of the most up to date version</lastUpdated> </versioning> </metadata> Now one question would be: Does the order of the version matter? How does it really works? I am doing some remote debugging into the maven code to try to understand the process, but I'd like to see if someone could also point me in the right direction.
