Apologies for not being clear. In my second mail i had thought of another situation where interdependencies between artefacts you have built cause an unpredictable build.
Let me illustrate the problem clearer. Parent P Project A Project B Project C -> depends on A mvn install My reactor build would do: - Build Project P - Build Project A -> installed into local repo - Build project B -> installed into local repo During the build of Project B, an updated Project A was put into the remote repository by, say an automated build - Build Project C (during build of project C it would have downloaded project A) Therefore project C would not build with my project A. I cannot use offline with this multi-module project as I want A, B and C to pull in any changes to third-party artefacts. I may have understood the way that maven works in this regards, please could you let me know if this is an issue.

It has to be you, particularly if you're working offline. As the local maven repository is "local", this should not be possible. You're not sharing your local repository with others are you? Did you try with mvn -o? You're not very clear about it in your last mail.
