I have two issues here:
1) The m2e repo is soaking up disk space (which isn't a real issue
except
it's slowing down backups)
2) The m2e repo is defining coordinates that I want to get rid to, to
double-check that my poms don't refer to these invalid coordinates. This
actually bit me - a build worked because it happened to find an old
snapshot artifact that I had renamed, and my coworker didn't have that
coordinate because that invalid artifact never hit any disk except mine.
A good practice is to just wipe out the Maven local repo on a regular
basis
(I do it something like once a week on my machine and it's configured
to do
that in CI once a day)
To mention it about the fifth time:
The m2e repo is NOT the local cache repo.
The m2e repo lives in in an Eclipse-managed directory (in
.metadata/plugins IIRC).
The local (cache) repo lives in ~/.m2.
These two repos are shown in the Maven Repositories tab in Eclipse,
.m2 as "Local Repositories -> Local Repository", the m2e one as "Local
Repositories -> Workspace Projects".
I do not have any repo in .metadata/plugins. that I could find.
I am not sure where they came from but I would be surprised if they
could not be deleted and automatically repopulated by maven and m2e.
I switch workspaces every so often and start with a new one with no ill
effects.
This use case can happen, but one should never consider local
repository as
something to manage (you should exclude it.from the backup btw). The
*local
repo is a _cache_ really*.
Yes, and it should be named "local cache" instead of "local
repository" to eliminate just the kind of confusion you just exhibited.
