Justin Rowe commented on MANTTASKS-234:
---------------------------------------
This is worse than I thought, because it actually downloads the first (i.e.
oldest) version of the snapshot, rather than the latest version. This is in
contrast to mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.4:get which
correctly downloads the latest version; this is the behaviour that I would
expect.
> artifact:dependencies does not download latest version SNAPSHOT dependency if
> already present locally

> Key: MANTTASKS-234
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MANTTASKS-234
> Project: Maven 2.x Ant Tasks
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: dependencies task
> Affects Versions: 2.1.3
> Environment: Windows
> Reporter: Justin Rowe
>
> We are using <artifact:dependencies> to trigger download of an artifact from
> a remote repo to the local repo. When the dependency is a SNAPSHOT
> dependency, it only seems to check that the dependency exists in the local
> repo, it does not check that there is a more recent snapshot in the remote
> repo. So the snapshot artifact does not get updated with the latest version.
> My workaround is to call this artifact:dependencies, delete the artifact that
> is referred to in the property that gets set by this task, and then call
> artifact:dependencies again to ensure that we have the correct version.
