> Currently karaf does not use snapshots from the local repository. This is because the local repository is treated as a remote repository.
> On the other hand the system dir is currently set as local repository. So maven downloads meta info and more current snapshots into the system dir. This is not good as the system dir should be read only as it is often stored at a place where the karaf use may not write.
> I propose to switch the settings to what we had in 2.2.x. The default local repository was used as a local repository and the system dir was set as a remote repository. 
> On windows this fully works and snapshots are recognized again.
> On Linux we have the issue that the default local repo is not recoginzed so artifacts are downloaded from remote even if they are there.
