Also this is pulled straight from the users guide (typos included) under the Building Offline section.
"In online mode, maven always downloads SNAPSHOT dependencies, see Using SNAPSHOT Dependencies. If the snapshots in your local repository are younger than the ones on the server, you propably don't want that maven overwrites you local snapshot jars." If that is truly not the case it should be fixed in the documentation ASAP.

It only pulls from the remote repository if the timestamp of the remote repository is more recent than the timestamp of the local repository. Useful when the build server builds a new version of your lib. If you had built it more recently than the server (remote repo), then it'll use your local repository.

I believe SNAPSHOT always pull from the remote repository. If you want build B to use the local SNAPSHOT of A you have to build B with the -o flag to turn off the remote repository. Craig -----Original Message----- From: Helck, Christopher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 12:55 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: How should I use SNAPSHOT? I thought I understood snapshots, but a recent email has confused me all over again :-). The post suggested that if I have two projects A and B then I could set A's POM to have <currentVersion>1.0-SNAPSHOT</currencyVersion> And that B should depend on A with <dependency> <artifactId>A</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> When I try this A gets install in my local repository as A-SNAPSHOT.jar, and B's build fails because it can't fine A-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar. Am I doing something wrong? Is this a real feature? Or is it tied to the SCM plugin? In any case I wish it worked this way... Thanks. C.
