Venkata created MNG-5362:
----------------------------
Summary: Option to always download SNAPSHOT from remote repo
Key: MNG-5362
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5362
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Venkata
Priority: Critical
It should be possible for a project to always download a remote SNAPSHOT
artifact when mentioned as part of the dependency.
Consider our scenario, where we have two projects - projA and projB, projA
depends on projB - under active development.
CI Builds happen on a cluster of 4 servers. ProjB ends up throwing errors very
frequently because latest of ProjA would have been compiled on a different
server than ProjB.
For organizational reasons, we cannot make our Artifactory repo to use
'Nonunique snapshots', i.e. we need the artifact name to be same for each
update in Maven repo.
I am pretty sure that many people out there have been facing the same issue.
There are other solutions, but all of them are equally frustrating.
It would be nice to have an updatePolicy of 'force' or something which will
always reach out to latest snapshot version.
Thanks.
