Purging local repository

[Wim Deblauwe <wi...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

what is the best way if I want to erase all the artifacts from my local repo
of the thing i am about to build using Maven? I tried the dependency plugin,
but that only seems to remove the _dependencies_ of my artifact, not the
current artifact.

regards,

Wim

Yes, since that removes the whole repo. I only want to delete the repo dir
of the artifact I am about to build.

You mean besides simply deleting the ${user.home}/.m2/repository directory?

Seems like your script could purge just your groupId(s) if you want.
(That may be what our CI guy does...like you say...no reason to purge
things guaranteed not to change.)

I also did that for now, but it seems a bit like a workaround and really
unneeded for the dependencies we get from elsewhere (like maven central)

Re: Purging local repository

Okay, I don't use Nexus or Hudson so I don't know how those work.  Do you
need timestamped snapshots?  We haven't found timestamped snapshots to be
needed so the CI build just overwrites the one and only snapshot.

Btw, on our CI systems we purge the entire local repo once per day, this
helps clean things out as sometimes we refactor projects and rename
group/artifact ids for snapshots.

Re: Purging local repository

To avoid filling up the disk.

I have a virtualized ubuntu linux which has been given 50 GB and runs Nexus
and Hudson. When Hudson builds using maven, it copies a lot of the nexus to
the local repo. The local repo has timestamped versions of my snapshots, so
I want to avoid that those snapshots fill up my harddisk.

Wim

Just wondering, why do you want to do this?

Re: Purging local repository

[Wim Deblauwe <wi...@gmail.com>]

Indeed. I would have expected the goal to remove all previously generated
artifacts of the artifact I am running this command on. I tried the
'artifactId' mode, but it did not remove any previously created jar from my
local repo.

Do you mean you tried maven-dependency-plugin:purge-local-repository
and it didn't do as you expect?
