[image: image.gif]Hi Isuru, thanks for the clarification. This version of the library might be already in your local m2 repo (.m2 > directory). > Noted. Therefore is it good practice to delete (or rename) the .m2 directory and do a fresh build?

Hence why I thought that it wouldn't have been downloaded. Further, I couldn't locate the library under the "External Libraries" in the project explorer.
