I think the artifact caching mecanism in the maven-eclipse-plugin is broken, due to some code included in http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-292
The patch applied broke the caching mecanism (at least as far as I can see). Could some one have a look into this, confirm the problem I'm cirrently seeing and publish a bugfix release for this plugin? I think the caching mecanism is important enough that a stable version without this mecanism deserves a bugfix release. Seems Brian isn't over there at the moment. Thanks. Denis.
