Kent Moore created MNG-5428:
-------------------------------
Summary: Update documentation to make it clear released artifacts
are *never* updated in the local cache
Key: MNG-5428
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5428
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation: General
Affects Versions: 3.0.4
Reporter: Kent Moore
Priority: Minor
A literal reading of the "updatePolicy" section of
http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.4/maven-settings/settings.html, as well as
Maven help for the "-U" option, makes it seem as though Maven is capable of
updating release artifacts in the local cache. But that is not the case.
I believe the documentation in both areas should be updated to make it clear
released artifacts are *never* re-downloaded to the local Maven cache, even if
the repository manager contains a newer version of the release (which shouldn't
ever happen, but....).
