Paul Gier created MDEP-385:
------------------------------
Summary: Default fuzziness level should be version instead of file
Key: MDEP-385
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-385
Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: purge-local-repository
Reporter: Paul Gier
The default fuzziness property of the purge-local-repository goal, should be
"version" instead of "file". Deleting only a single file from the local
repository seems risky because if one jar in the remote repository has changed,
it's likely that the pom, and possibly other artifacts have changed as well.
Deleting only a single file from a GAV could leave the local repository in an
unpredictable state which doesn't match the remote repository.
Changing this property should have no impact on existing builds, because if the
purge works for a single file, it should normally work to purge the whole
version directory instead.
