Todd,
M2E is expected to obey snapshot/release update policy configured for
your repositories in settings.xml. By default, it will check snapshots
updates once a day and release artifacts are not checked at all. Actual
download is expected to happen only if repository artifact version is
newer than version of the artifact available in the local repository.
M2E may also be forcing snapshot updates on some manual operations (need
to double check), but this certainly does not apply for release
artifacts.Well, this is the theory, and this is how m2e behaves on my
machine.
Now to your problem. First thing I would do is to check
$HOME/.m2/settings.xml. Then try latest M2E dev update site [1] (I
vaguely remember there was a bug with snapshot update checks). Then you
probably want to submit a bugreport in JIRA [2], make sure to provide
details about your environment and ideally a sample project to
demonstrate the problem.
As a temporary workaround, you may want to install local repository
manager, like Nexus [3].

Hi all
Simple question from a simple mind
Using m2eclipse is great with my workspace while I’m local to our maven
repos which are not exposed to the outside world.
When working on slow connection speeds (dsl, etc.) the build times are
greatly effected by the downloading of all dependent artifacts.
Every time I do a build , some artifacts are downloaded multiple times.
Such as opensaml-1.1.pom, and many jars get downloaded every time I
do a build. Why?
Is there some way to have an artifact get downloaded only once into my
local repo?
I’m familiar with the “Offline” option, that’s great for once my local
repo is populated. But I’d like to have m2eclipse (embedded install)
download a specific artifact and version only once , and then reuse
that on subsequent builds.
Any clues would be greatly appreciated
