Maven will first look in your local repo then in remote ones. Unless it's looking for snapshot updates,which by default it does once a day. Are you using version numbers that end in -SNAPSHOT?

That's out of scope for Maven command line if you are *just* building the war from its subdirectory. As I mentioned, it's something your IDE might handle for you. > or have i got that wrong and it is actually doing as i though? is there an > easy way to call the deploy plugin every time you do a package? If you want it to deploy, use "mvn deploy" instead of (I assume) "mvn package". That will also put it in your local repo since install is just before deploy in the lifecycle. Note that you still haven't told us exactly what you're doing and what output you're getting vs. what you expect, so we're still guessing. :) -- Wendy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
