It's not a cache for another reason... mvn install:install-file where you install proprietary artifacts into your local repo when working on proprietary code and you don't have a proper repository manager to host them on. So you really have to know why each artifact is there and where it came from before you can just delete it at random. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
