Greetings, AFAICT, m2 goes off and searches for POMs for each artifact it encounters. This is all well and good if the POMs exist, but when one is using a mix of m1 & m2 repos, then there will be many artifacts that do not have associated POMs. m2 figures this out and moves on -- as it should -- but it doesn't remember. So every time I build it rediscovers that a POM is missing. This is often ridiculously slow -- as it chains thru the repos, eventually going into the black hole of ibiblio. This can make a build that should take seconds -- take minutes.
Does anyone know how to work around this?? BTW: the -offline switch is not working for this. When I use that switch in this situation the build simply dies. BTW: there is another wrinkle to this. If I was able to search my m1 repo first, then m2 should see that an artifact exists and then stop searching for its corresponding POM. This is because you want it to use this artifact, and not mix it up with a POM somewhere down the repo food-chain. Thanks, -- Chris
