I agree that it's weird and sort of silly that Maven seems to check
ALL of the repositories for each dependency. Anyone know if there's a
way to turn that off?
AFAIK it is a deficiency in Maven 1 where a snapshot is looked up from
each remote repo multiple times. To take even longer.. it checks for a
snapshot in each repo where snapshots are marked as enabled, and also
looks for a POM before each such artifact is looked up.
Even Maven 2 looks up POMs for all artifacts before each online build -
but only once per run/build, and by limiting your repositories you could
considerably reduce the build time. Also unit tests and general
execution with Maven 2 (2.0.6) is much faster than Maven 1. Although
Maven may not be the ultimate build tool, Maven 2 is definitely better
than Maven 1
