Howdy, The Maven local repository contains two kinds of artifacts lumped together: - cached ones from remote - locally built and installed
This message matters the cached ones: "present but unavailable" means following: - file IS present (so it was cached) - but is unavailable, as it was cached as part of some OTHER remote repository than that exists in current execution Maven3 uses this implementation of local repository https://maven.apache.org/resolver/apidocs/org/eclipse/aether/internal/impl/EnhancedLocalRepositoryManagerFactory.html And check out the javadoc it: it tracks the "origin" (basically remote repository ID) of cached artifacts, and "emulates" physically separated caches (same can be achieved "for real" with split local repository). In short: the repository ID that was stored as artifact origin is NOT available in your subsequent build, hence, Maven3 does not use it (is unavailable, but present physically in cache/local repository).
