Michael Osipov commented on MNG-5428:
-------------------------------------
Please provide a better wording for that option and I will apply it.
> Update documentation to make it clear released artifacts are *never* updated
> in the local cache

> Key: MNG-5428
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5428
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation: General
> Affects Versions: 3.0.4
> Reporter: Kent Moore
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: close-pending
>
> A literal reading of the "updatePolicy" section of
> http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.4/maven-settings/settings.html, as well as
> Maven help for the "-U" option, makes it seem as though Maven is capable of
> updating release artifacts in the local cache. But that is not the case.
> I believe the documentation in both areas should be updated to make it clear
> released artifacts are *never* re-downloaded to the local Maven cache, even
> if the repository manager contains a newer version of the release (which
> shouldn't ever happen, but....).
