    AS trunk : SNAPSHOTs being downloaded even with updatePolicy=never

    jaikiran

      Sometime back, for a quicker build of AS, it was recommended to use updatePolicy=never for snapshot repos http://community.jboss.org/thread/147383?tstart=0. This was working fine without any issues. But with the migration to the new nexus repos, the updatePolicy=never isn't honoured and SNAPSHOTS (of the AS trunk modules) are being downloaded when I do a mvn install on the testsuite module in AS trunk. I even tried setting updatePolicy=never on all the available repos in my settings.xml. But it still doesn't work. Here's a part of the log while building the testsuite module which shows the SNAPSHOTs being downloaded (this is just a part of the log. At the time of writing the downloads/build is still on!)

       

      [jpai@jaikiran testsuite]$ mvn install

      And here's the settings.xml being used:

      So how do I prevent the SNAPSHOT downloads?
