Don't download pom if artifact is already in the local repository
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2443
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2443
Project: Maven 2
Type: Bug
Versions: 2.0.4
Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
There are many projects out there just providing their artifact without a pom
(whether this is good or not is a different question). Now in this case m2
always tries to download a pom for those artifacts, even if the artifact itself
is already in the local repository. And if you have several of those artifacts
combined with more than one repository configured, then there are a lot of
unnecessary download attempts.
I think this falls into the same category as changing a pom in the repository
(which should be forbidden) - so if for the first time the artifact is
downloaded no pom available, then there will never be a pom for this specific
artifact.
