[jira] Commented: (MECLIPSE-377) eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources=true shouldn't attempt download more than once in a multi-project

In the light of discussion I am asking why the cache information is not kept in individual files in the artifacts location in the local repo itself. That way it is possible to purge parts of the local repo and it will include the cache automatically without dropping the complete info for all other artifacts.

I thought of this too. It would also be atomic and consistent.

Its just more work :)

I'll have a quick look to see if it is easy to do, but I suspect that calculating the Artifact to obtain is split between two classes and not as simple as I would like.

> If you run "mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources=true" it attempts to download source jars for all projects, even when it has tried (and failed) to download the jars in earlier projects.  This slows down the goal a lot on slow network connections.
