I have done exactly that - several times - usually to verify that changes I've made in Archiva haven't screwed something up - and a couple times because something I downloaded caused maven to choke and do nothing.
However, I also do have problems with snapshot plugins when doing a 'mvn -U' or a 'mvn clean'. I assume I am missing a reference to a snapshot repo somewhere, or that the exclusion of snapshots on my Archiva 'internal' repo blocks them. --CB On Tue, 2007-10-16 at 11:11 +0200, Kristof Jozsa wrote: > Hi, > > do I assume correctly that if I had a correct archiva repo set up and the > correct local mirrorOf * setting in my settings.xml, after wiping out my whole > ~/.m2/repository/ directory I could do a successful build with mvn? > > Appearently that's not the case for me, not even the resource or the > clean-plugin can be downloaded after a completely removed local repository.
