Hello Chad, I think the behavior is the same, here's what I did:
* I built multi-module project with mvn clean install - now all artifact are in my local repository. * I changed directory to the "top-level" module, which depends on other modules in the project and executed mvn clean install -U - Maven went to the remote repository for maven-metadata.xml. The only thing to check is whether Maven does the same next day without -U option. But I think it's logical that Maven checks for updates even for locally installed snapshots - otherwise, if you installed snapshot locally, it would block updates from remote repository.
