How did the artifacts get at your remote repository. (Your server). Do you use a maven mirror/proxy, like archiva or artifactory or are you using a local repository on the server. (Which is populated by running mvn commands on the server)
If you use the second, it is not a real remote repository and then you notice things like this. (Also not updating of snapshots on your own local repository). Please take a look at archiva or artifactory for your remote repository. It is much easier in use then a remote "local repository".

And this runs in most case OK. But in somecase it doesn't work. For example when I run "mvn clean", I got error as follow. But the Jar "maven-archetype-quickstart-1.0.jar" is on the repository on the server machine. I have copy this jar into the local repository. After that the "mvn clean" process can go on, i.e., the other jars can be downloaded from the server repository. > > Such a problem happends when I run "mvn eclipse:eclipse".
