It's an element in your settings.xml http://maven.apache.org/maven-settings/settings.html#class_repository
for example ----------- <repository> <id>central</id> <url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url> <releases> <enabled>true</enabled> <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy> </releases> <snapshots> <enabled>false</enabled> </snapshots> </repository> Note : the above repository does not contain snapshot versions, therefore the snapshot element above is redundant. I have included it for illustration only.
