updatePolicy for release repositories

[Leon Franzen <le...@oracle.com>]

I can't seem to find a detailed description of how updatePolicy affects 
release repository behavior.  Can someone explain or point me to a 
document that does?

I'm also interested in understanding how, if at all, updatePolicy 
affects release-version range resolution with regard to how often 
maven-metadata.xml is checked.  Based on experimentation, updatePolicy 
does not make a difference in how often Maven checks maven-metadata.  It 
always downloads metadata for each range expression referenced 
dependency.  Is there a way to limit range resolution to local 
repository contents when running in offline mode?  I appear to get 
missing dependencies often if I do this.
