Mocking a repository, sort of
There's a jira claiming that the 'don't update snapshots' flag isn't
working. I thought to build a real test case; I wondered if we have
anything in the way of a precedent. I need to construct a repo that
claims to have a very new snapshot so that Maven will be tempted to
download it. I can think of a way to set this up, but i didn't want to
repeat history.

Then again, it only retrieves snapshots once a day by default, so
you'd either have to wait until tomorrow for that part of the test, or
perhaps configure that repository to 'always'.

No, you'd want deploy:deploy-file, however I wouldn't try that with a
snapshot, I'm not sure it would get the timestamped snapshot filename
and metadata quite right, and in any case it isn't going to test what
a user would be reporting.
I would set up project A that uses dependency B. In B, configure
distributionManagement to file://path/to/remote/repo . When you
deploy that snapshot, use a separate local repository so you don't
step on the one you're using with A to test the snapshot download.
Now build A normally, and it should retrieve the snapshot. Then
deploy a new snapshot of B (again using the separate local repo.)
Build A using whatever setting is supposed to NOT retrieve snapshots,
and see if it does.

Seems like overkill. Deploying to file:// using
-Dmaven.repo.local=/tmp/repo (to keep from updating the local repo of
the project you are testing with) should do it.

The assembly-plugin can create a repository structure [1] which can then
be used as a file:/// based repo.

If the dates are all in the .xml files, that would 'serve' for this purpose.
How heavy depends on how cleverly they've provided maven plugins,
after all, on the other hand.

I'm checking into whether archiva can be launched embeddedly.

I have been working on the mock-repository-maven-plugin over at
mojo... but it's a side-project of one of my side-projects'
side-projects...
I shall be getting back at some time in the near future.
I would do something like a file:/// based repo for now until I can
get you the mock-repo plugin
