One problem I have been having with maven-proxy is that I find that once a jar's metadata is downloaded, it never seems to be updated. I noticed this when Maven 2.0 was released. Soon after that, a few plugins had new versions released but my Maven 2.0 never updated, even using -U and blasting the repository. Only by stopping the proxy, blasting it's cache, and restarting it was I able to get the updated plugins. I think there may need to be a serious code review of this to make sure that it is working correctly with m2 before it is heavily advertised.

Especially for companies or other big organizations it can decrease the traffic significantly. What's missing: A proper guide how to make use of it in M2 (it took me some time to get the <home>/.m2/settings.xml right, so that artifacts and plugins will use the proxy) and special hints in the M2 docs for its existence. - Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
