Maven keeps track of the source of the artifacts that it downloads.
When you swap out your settings.xml, then the source changes from your
corporate proxy to maven central.
Thus Maven expects that the artifacts in the cache may no longer even exist
or may be different.
Maven therefore tries to r
Ah ok makes sense. While this would work, it still doesn't explain why
maven is trying to redownload an artifact that is already in my local repo.
I'm reading the maven definitive guide and it hasnt explained much about
how maven resolves dependencies on the wire. However haven't reached the

I think that he was suggesting that you install it as a proxy so that it
would not contain any actual artifacts.
In the office, it would proxy your real Nexus and when you are off-line
it would act as local repo that would not actually resolve anything but
would keep your settings.xml happy. It
That seems like overkill. The whole point to a local maven repository is to
provide caching so you don't have to continually redownload load artifacts.
Also, installing a nexus repo on my machine seems counterproductive from
"the maven way" which includes portable builds.
Unless I'm completely wro
Install local Nexus in you machine and add work Nexus as proxy
repository in it and then only one setting.xml works.
It also gives you freedom to work totally offline.

I typically work behind a Nexus server at work which I use a settings.xml
file. When I come home I remove the settings.xml from my m2 folder.
As soon as I do this I can no longer resolve my maven dependencies that are
my work modules, even though they show up in my m2 repo.
When I put the setting
