Tamas Cservenak commented on MRESOLVER-277: ------------------------------------------- IMHO, this works as intented. This is the definition of "never" policy: {noformat} /** * Never update locally cached data. */ public static final String UPDATE_POLICY_NEVER = "never"; {noformat} Key part: "never update *locally cached* data". With empty repository, you have no locally cached data. [~ralaoui] you probably mean "offline for metadata"? As such a feature would prevent download, but is not supported. > --no-snapshot-update option does not prevent metadata.xml download > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MRESOLVER-277 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRESOLVER-277 > Project: Maven Resolver > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Réda Housni Alaoui > Priority: Major > Fix For: waiting-for-feedback > > > I have a multi-module project. > Each time I build the project using an empty local repository, maven-resolver > tries to download the {{metadata.xml}} of each module even if I pass > {{--no-snapshot-update}} option. > I think it is a bug. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
