Remove old snapshots under local repository
Hi I need to find a way to walk into local repository and remove all old
snapshots.
This is very helpful for developer to clean up his/her local rep.
how safe it is by blindly remove any file with timestamp format ( ie
xxx-1.0.0-20140816.071953-49.jar)?
Thanks

I tend to use:
mvn dependency:purge-local-repository
when sitting in a project directory, it'll go thru and delete all the
SNAPSHOTs and re-resolve.
The only problem with it in the default mode, is that is _only_ deletes
the `.jar`. files and doesn't rebuild any metadata, so if you're using
version ranges you're kinda f**ked.
However, I usually use it with the following setting:
mvn dependency:purge-local-repository
-DresolutionFuzziness=artifactId
which will delete ALL files related to the artifact - all versions, all
meta data - it doesn't mean there's more to download again but works
wonderfully.

Nope, it's takes the dependencies from your project pom.xml:
mvn dependency:purge-local-repository -DresolutionFuzziness=artifactId

the problem here is I have to enter artifactId, am I missing any thing?

So not using the dependency plugin like I suggested?

After all consideration. I use Ron's advice and create a internal plugin
to clean it up.

A few days ago, I suggested just blowing away the organization's
sub-folder under .m2/repository.
A bit more surgical. Would that work?
If you have a corporate repo (and everyone should) it does not take long
to repopulate your local repo.
Probably a good idea to get rid of the entire local repo every year just
get rid of old version that you will never need again.
I don't need to carry a 7 year history of log4j on my hard drive.

What's wrong with just blowing away ~/.m2/repository ?
If you have a local Maven Repository Manager it doesn't take very long to
reseed it.
(At least less time in aggregate than thinking of ways to prune snapshot
files in the repository correctly...)

Sure it would. It's only the files that gets a timestamp; the directories
are still called x.y.z-SNAPSHOT.
However, be adviced that I've run into cases in the wild where the
artifactId would end in "-SNAPSHOT" and this solution would remove such
directories as well although it's could contain releases (and snapshots).
Such a artifactId naming is not very good and kind of deserves to cause
issues though...

This would not work, since it still leave all snapshot of timestamp around

Easiest thing to do is to delete the entire organization or project
branch (com.mycompany.project.*) from the local repo.
This will not likely delete anything of great value or anything that can
not be easily retrieved from your company repo.
