Re: Problem with updating non-unique snapshot versions of a plugin
hmm, no response for a week, I guess that answers my question with 'no, no, yes'... 2009/8/12 Sven Preßler sven.press...@gmail.com Hello, I'm currently using maven 2.0.9. I've got a project X which uses a Plugin my-plugin with version 1.0-SNAPSHOT. How do I force maven to update this plugin from the repository, no matter what? I tried the following: make some changes to the plugin, build it with mvn package and upload the newly created .jar to the repository. I do that, because I want to simulate the situation on the build server, on which I cant just compile the latest version of my plugin. Now when I try to build project X with mvn package -U, I get something like [INFO] snapshot group:my-plugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT: checking for updates from m2repo-plugins but nothing is downloaded, I checked the .jar in my local repository, but it's unchanged. I found that it's possible to recreate (or something like that) the local repository with mvn dependency:purge-local-repository However, this only seems to work if I create a dependency/-entry for my plugin and even if I do that, it's not really a good solution, since I cannot run a command like that on our build server. Then I found this issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2839 It's a bit different than my problem, so I'm not sure if I'm actually facing the same problem. So my question is: Is there any quick solution to this problem, did I miss something or do I just have to wait for the Fix Version 2.2.x as described in the issue? Thanks, Sven

The short answer is get yourself a good repository manager (e.g. nexus or artifactory) The long answer is get yourself a good repository manager or else use a webdav based repository and deploy to it only using the maven deploy plugin (i.e. deploy:deploy-file or deploy:deploy) If you insist on doing what you are doing then you will end up with the issues you are seeing -Stephen Sven - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
Re: Problem with updating non-unique snapshot versions of a plugin
hmm, interesting, thanks! I actually just deleted the metadata-local files in the remote repository, since your answer made me check for the file structure of other plugins in the remote repo... and now it's working, great!
