Bernd, your theory failed the test:
* Unplugged USB stick, so Maven has no passwords anymore * Removed .m2\repository folder from disk, so Maven is enforced to download rather everything newly from our Nexus mirror * "mvn clean package" built maven-dependency-plugin without any problem Conclusion: It is definitively NOT a download problem, but still supports my theory that maven-dependency-plugin wants to UPLOAD something at "package" phase. If I just would have kept the protocol earlier today, I could tell you what "thing" actually it was... :-( Regards -Markus -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Bernd [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 18.

You can wipe your local repo cache (or use a different one in settings.xml) and try to reproduce the problem. If you run with -X and actually keep the maven log output you should be able to see the access in question.
