Twice I've tried to build a small maven persistence app in netbeans 6.7. Each time maven takes over and starts downloading pom files at a ridiculously slow rate (i.e. 2k file in 5 minutes). It takes an hour and 43 minutes to download all the pom files. I have a fast connection. If the other end is cooperating I can download 200 mb in a few minutes.
My question is why does maven need to re-download all these pom files each time I rebuild? What do I have set wrong? Thank you, Doug
