Tamás Cservenák commented on MNG-6270:
--------------------------------------
Feature branch development is exactly one of the fully supported use cases, as
documented here
[https://maven.apache.org/resolver/local-repository.html#use-cases]
So Resolver 1.8.1 supports this, that will be included with Maven 3.9.0+
> Store snapshots in a separate local repository

> Key: MNG-6270
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6270
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Artifacts and Repositories, Settings
> Reporter: Joern Gebhardt

> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.9.0-candidate, 4.0.x-candidate

> h2. Requested Feature
> As already suggested in MNG-4481 it would be really helpful if Maven was able
> to store the Snapshot artifacts in a different location than the fixed
> version ones.
> Technically it could be configured like this:
> {code}
> <settings>
>
> <snapshotLocalRepository>${user.home}/.m2/snapshots</snapshotLocalRepository>
> ...
> </settings>
> {code}
> or via a new Maven property {{maven.repo.local.snapshot}}.
> h2. Uses Cases
> # *Feature Branch Development Support*: When using a branching model like
> [Vincent Driessen's
> Gitflow|http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model] or [Adam
> Ruka's
> Oneflow|http://endoflineblog.com/oneflow-a-git-branching-model-and-workflow]
> you do feature development in parallel branches that get merged back into the
> {{master}} when the feature is completed.
> However, these feature branches produce the same snapshot artifact version.
> On a central build server it is necessary that these snapshot artifacts are
> only visible within one feature branch and cannot be seen from a different
> feature branch as they are potentially incompatible.
> Currently it is only possible to use different fully fledged local
> repositories for each feature branch, however, this slows down the first
> builds as the fixed versions artifacts have to be copied into the
> feature-branch specific local repository. Additionally, it costs a lot of
> disk space.
> Having the possibility to uses feature-branch specific repositories for the
> snapshot dependencies only, would be a great feature for a development
> process using feature branches.
> # Drop all snapshots and make clean build (no ancient snapshot dependencies
> will bass) - useful especially after changing module identification.
