yes, we got a corporate repository with archvia, which cashes dependencies, so it is not such a pain as waiting very long time when deleting .m2/repository without having a repository proxy.
never the less i think that all these cleanup-scripts hanging around (cron or similar) are just as always a workaround which do not solve the source of the problem. me, at least as a user would like to have solved this memory-size problem (currently 2GB sized repository is growing larger and larger just because of snapshots) by maven2 itself. i think i will go to open a jira issue for that, so setting the number of snapshots kept in local repository can be configured.
