Ah, gotcha!
May be we should update the help message then to something like:
"Forces a check for newer releases and updated snapshots on remote repositories"
Cheers,

It really depends on what you mean by "checked for updates"...
SNAPSHOTS are checked for new versions of the snapshot artifact, and
they are pulled down into your local repo cache to be used in this and
future builds.
Depending on how your versions are declared, new versions of
non-snapshot artifacts will also be checked for, pulled down, and used
in the build as well. For example, Maven will look for new versions of
plugins (eg Jar, War, etc) and use them unless you've "locked down"
your versions.
But Maven will not look for an updated version 1.5.2 if one already
exists in your local repo cache. It is assumed that there is one and
only one version 1.5.2 for a given artifact.

From the following command:

I get this description for -U option:
-U,--update-snapshots Forces a check for updated releases and
snapshots on remote repositories
I would imagine both SNAPSHOT and releases are checked for updates :-)

And at times you can use the '-U' option to force an update check for
dependencies.
But again, this works only for SNAPSHOT dependencies, and not for 'released'
versions.
