Exact meaning of -U command line option

2012-01-04 Thread Peter Niederwieser
mvn --help says (both in Maven 2.2.1 and 3.0.2):

...
-U,--update-snapshots  Forces a check for updated releases and snapshots on
remote repositories
...

What is updated releases supposed to mean here?

Cheers,
Peter

If a repository becomes blacklisted for some reason you can use the -U to  
force an update.
With Maven3 you will see a message explaining it if such a situation  
occurs.
