My project depends on a 3rd party library that only has snapshots in its maven repository (no releases, which seems strange, but that’s how it is). Every time I do a full build (and clean my local .m2 repository) maven will obviously go and grab the latest build.

My repository proxies the one with the snapshots in it, is there anyway to tell my repository to stop pulling new versions and basically just keep the current version? I really don’t want to be pulling a new build every night.

The only thought I had is to manually label the current versions, but there quite a few dependencies and they are all dependent on the SNAPSHOT versions. Is there an easier way to do this?

thanks,

Jeff

    Take a look at this blog entry from sonatype: Best Practices for 3rd Party Snapshot Dependencies

    I usually install the file to my proxy or local repo as a certain version, and then refer to that version. Then you don’t risk the snapshot disappearing out from under you.
