Ian, it sounds like you have not configured Maven with the address of the snapshot repositories.
I suspect you have just setup a mirror to point to the main repository in Artifactory (in which you are caching Apache, Codehaus etc). Its generally a good idea to keep release and snapshot artifacts separate in any case Don't forget to list the pluginRepository too. And don't foget to activate the profile, either in settings.xml (typical) or on the command line. Try adding something like the following to your settings.xml <profile> <id>default-repositories</id> <repositories> <repository> <id>snapshot</id> <name>SNAPSHOT Repository</name> <url>http://hubpc65:8080/artifactory/snapshot</url> <releases> <enabled>false</enabled> </releases> <snapshots> <enabled>true</enabled> </snapshots> </repository> </repositories> <pluginRepositories> <pluginRepository> <id>snapshot</id> <name>SNAPSHOT Repository</name> <url>http://hubpc65:8080/artifactory/snapshot</url> <releases> <enabled>false</enabled> </releases> <snapshots> <enabled>true</enabled> <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy> </snapshots> </pluginRepository> </pluginRepositories> </profile> William > -----Original Message----- > From: Ian Rowlands [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, 21 December 2007 7:47 AM > To: undisclosed-recipients > Subject: [***POSSIBLE SPAM***] - Trying to work out where a > snapshot caching problem is - Sender is forged (SPF Fail) > > > Hi, > > I'm having a problem with Maven caching and snapshots.
