Maven checks to see if a required JAR is present by looking at the name, if you don't have that JAR it asks the repository for it. We want to prevent having to check the server on every build to see if the timestamp has changed. You can set the <jar> element to a name with no version in it. For a commercial tool this might be fine. > Maven is a real good tool and I would be very interested in providing help. Cool!
