My problem with current behaviour is that the same location is used as
both cache for remote artifacts and repository for locally installed
artifacts. I think a cleaner model is to separate the two. It will still
be possible to install locally, although I am not sure we'll need
separate "install" phase.

without access to my remote repository.  Is it treated as a cache,
maybe so but it's not clear to me that renaming the tag won't serve
to add more confusion to a long-standing behavior...

Clearly, removing the ability to install artifacts locally would be a
very bad idea since it would make it more difficult for casual users
to use Maven for casual builds (e.g., I regularly use it to build
sample projects for customers that I never intend to do anything else
with once I send it to the customer).

Just my two cents, Robert

Yes, I think we should rename that tag.

And if not we should stop telling people it must not be seen as a
repository, but as a cache...

<localRepository> currently works as both a cache or artifacts from
remote repositories and as a repository of locally installed artifacts.
Do you suggest we get rid of "locally installed" functionality (which I
personally very much in favour) or you want to just change the name
(which I think will be confusing)?

Hi all,

Wondering, though not strictly 4.0.0 restricted, shouldn't a decision be
made about that vocabulary and reflect this in the docs and settings.xml
tags and so on?

I mean, I myself often explain it's not really a local repo, more a cache,
but the tag names and the docs makes it hard to spread the word.

In settings.xml : <localRepository> could be renamed to <localCache> or
<localRepositoryCache> ?

In the docs, e.g. https://maven.apache.org/pom.html there're many
references to a "local repository".

WDYT?

Cheers

It's not a local repository. It is a local repository cache.

There are files there that record where the artifacts were cached *from*.

If the artifact is there but the cache file is not or indicates a
different
source from the allowed sources for your build, then Maven will ignore the
artifact in your cache and check the remote sources.

I can see the artifact in my local repo, but maven somehow feels, because
it cannot find it in my nexus repository, then it does not exist.

The side problem is, even though nexus can see the artifact in its index,
it refuses to download it.

Why do maven and nexus work so hard at ignoring artifacts?

Cheers, Eric
