When I launch the ‘mvn install’ command, maven sometimes tries to download dependencies that it has already downloaded. That’s expected for SNAPSHOT but why does maven do that for other JARs?
I know I can avoid that behavior by ‘-o’ flag but I just wonder what the cause is.
I’d look for dependencies that don’t have a specified version number. Maven will periodically check to make sure that it has the most up-to-date version of these artifacts.
