Hi guys,

I have a simple use case: *my-project* that has *my-project-parent @ 1.8.0*, 
the latest release version in the repository w/ releases. In the repository 
w/ snapshots, there are several newer versions, e.g. *1.9.0-SNAPSHOT*, 
*1.10.0-SNAPSHOT*.

I run "mvn versions:update-parent -DallowSnapshots=true", and I would 
expect a version update of my-project-parent, from 1.8.0 -> 
1.10.0-SNAPSHOT. And this doesn't happen.

1) I ran the same command w/ -X, and I observed:
[DEBUG] Skipping update check for artifact ...my-project-parent (...m2\
repository\...\my-project-parent\maven-metadata-...-snapshots.xml) from 
disabled repository ...-snapshots (http:/...). This seemed related to the 
issue. The mojo should have looked there to find the new versions, but it 
doesn't even try.

2) Debug through code:

Lanucher.main() calls
... calls
[1] UpdateParentMojo.findLatestVersion(...) calls
... calls
[2] DefaultMetadataSource.resolve(...) calls
[3] ArtifactRepositoryMetadata.getPolicy(...)

*[3]* is invoked having "...-snapshots repo" as parameter; but returns 
systematically the policy repository.getReleases(). Because of this, *[2]*, 
when doing policy.isEnabled() => false. Thus the debug message from 1). We 
should note that a bunch of classes, included *[2]* and *[3]* have 2 
implementations. One from the MVN install dir, e.g. maven-compat-3.3.3.jar, 
and one from the mvn repo, e.g. maven-artifact-manager-2.2.1. The first one 
is used, from the maven dir.

So, *[1]* receives a list of versions, EXCLUDING the new snapshot versions. 
And after this point, the parameter passed from command line, i.e. 
"allowSnapshots=true" is taken into account. But at this point, the 
interesting versions are not known, so in my opinion, this parameter cannot 
have any effect.

It must be something that I miss; because by looking at the current code & 
flow, I don't see how this simple, i.e. using "allowSnapshots=true" use 
case would work.

Do you have any hints for me please?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Cristian.
