Herve Boutemy updated MNG-5528: ------------------------------- Fix Version/s: 3.0.6 > Help text confuses people > ------------------------- > > Key: MNG-5528 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5528 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Command Line > Affects Versions: 3.1.0 > Environment: any > Reporter: Chris Erskine > Assignee: Robert Scholte > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.0.6, 3.2.1 > > > When the 'mvn --help' command is used, the output for -U states "Forces a > check for updated releases and snapshots on remote repositories". This > confuses a lot of users into thinking that this option will update released > versions of artifacts. > Could this be changed to something like "Forces a check for updated snapshots > on remote repositories" > This would solve a number of problems that I have seen at different sites > where people think they can patch a finally released artifact and it is > updated in the local repository with the -U option. > Updating the help text would then roll into documentation where the text is > copied into it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
