This is a very common pitfall Maven users can fall in. You are using a local repository as remote repository. I thought there was some information on the maven site about the differences between remote and local repositories, but the most important one is:
A local repository stores snapshots different than a remote one. If you use a local repository as a remote repository, Maven can't tell that a snapshot artifact has changed, so you won't get the newer snapshot. (You can only get the newer one, if you manually remove the snapshot from your own local repository. This can be very tricky) Hth, Nick S. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Horlock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 4/11/2008 17:51 To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: maven archiva vs. maven repo Well, we've got Maven running on a remote server, and I set this as our maven remote server. As far as I know we don't have additional proxy or so running. So I still don't know why I would need archiva. Peter
