Garret Wilson commented on MRESOLVER-363:
-----------------------------------------
{quote}How is this difficult to resolve? If we update Maven's behavior so that
if resolver-status.properties is missing (or does not have the correct
"last-updated" flag), then instead of doing nothing, Maven proceeds as if the
"last-updated" value is January 1, 1970. Everything works as before if
"last-updated" is present. If not, then the Versions Maven Plugin related bug
is fixed and going forward there will be a "last-updated" flag. It's probably a
single line of code (not counting brackets). What is the downside?{quote}
In fact, if you agree to at least _consider_ this approach, assign it to me and
I'll be happy to look into it and file a pull request if it works out. Checking
for files and defaulting values and such is something I do day-in and day-out,
so it's right up my alley. I can't imagine this could be too difficult. Just
find out where it's looking for the {{resolver-status.properties}} file, and
add an {{else}} to the "property not found" part. But only if you would
consider it; I don't want to do it if it's out of the question to be accepted.
> Maven metadata is not updated in some cases

> Key: MRESOLVER-363
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRESOLVER-363
> Project: Maven Resolver
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.9.10
> Reporter: Tamas Cservenak
> Assignee: Tamas Cservenak
> Priority: Major
>
> Seems when update check for metadata happens, and:
> * maven-metadata XML is present, but
> * resolver-status.properties is not, OR was created by maven-compat, that
> uses different key for lastUpdated. Effectively the value of lastUpdated is
> not present.
> The update check falsely DO NOT check for update, as it will end up with
> update policy "never" in update policy analyzer.
