One thing I noticed was the repository configurations. In particular the
"releases" disabled and "snapshots" enabled. Like this:
<repository>
<id>apache.snapshots</id>
<name>Maven Snapshots</name>
<url>http://people.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository</url>
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>
Have you tested this out? I've found that when 'releases' is disabled, the
repository seems to be completely ignored if you're not using explicit
dependency versions. For example, the dependency downloads if the version is
"2-SNAPSHOT", but it doesn't if the version is "[1,3)". I'm still trying to
track down exactly what's causing this for me, but I thought I'd check. I
suspect it has something to do with ArtifactRepositoryMetadata's [1]
isSnapshot()method being hardcoded to return false, but I'm still trying to
narrow it down farther.
