> We are using <artifact:dependencies> to trigger download of an artifact from a remote repo to the local repo. When the dependency is a SNAPSHOT dependency, it only seems to check that the dependency exists in the local repo, it does not check that there is a more recent snapshot in the remote repo. So the snapshot artifact does not get updated with the latest version. 
> My workaround is to call this artifact:dependencies, delete the artifact that is referred to in the property that gets set by this task, and then call artifact:dependencies again to ensure that we have the correct version.
