Running mvn with -U -cpu should fix that (or wait 24 hours and try again :)).

I don't think this helps... at least not the wait 24 hours. I was up late and was running a build at 11:50pm and it ran fine, then ran a build at 12:02am and it puked about missing versions from genesis 1.1- SNAPSHOT versions... which I had versions in my local repo that were all newer than any snap that I had deployed.... and I am the only one who deploys them, so no chance that it as deployed by someone else.

The only way I could fix was to build genesis locally after the failed 12:02am build. But the crazy part was that I had just done that at about 11:40pm, did *not deploy* so my local copy was newer, but maven decided not to resolve to those versions?!?!

I don't think using `mvn -U` helps either, as that negates the use of caching SNAPSHOTs and will slowdown the build way to much.


Another solution is to delete the metadata file from the local repository.

Nope... this does not work either as the problem shows up quite often when you removed you local repo and build... ie... no local metadata at all. So I don't think the problem is there.

If there is a problem with the local metadata it is getting corrupted while mvn is running, so even removing the local repo cache will not ensure that the run will succeed.


Btw, how come the original snapshot versions are removed from the remote repository? The local metadata file probably contains a reference to the old snapshot version,
but doesn't seem to have it locally, which needs investigation..

Who said anything about removing anything? The genesis 1.1-SNAPSHOTS have not been altered ore removed from the remote repo. In the specific problem build 1 - 23 of plugin-support are all available.


As for the other snapshot errors: Maven 1 legacy repositories don't contain metadata files. Updating snapshots from them doesn't seem to work. That's another thing that
should be investigated.

I personally never have problems with snapshot versions, so maybe the use of maven 1 repositories and the removal of snapshots from the remote repository isn't handled correctly by Maven.

I know there are issues with m1 repos... not specific to snapshots... though unfortunately we can not eliminate them completely from out build because we have a few dependencies which define m1 repos in their poms.

But... I think that use of m1 repos is only one of the problems going on here... something else, which I have yet to understand, is broken.

One thing does look very fishy to me though....

Notice that the tools-maven-plugin's timestamp-build is "20061013.014841-21" and this is also the same timestamp-build that is being used for the plugin-support jar. However the real timestamp for build 21 of plugins-support is "20061012.062745".
