> With every first build of the day, Maven downloads *maven-metadata.xml* from remote repository. Generally, this is ok since the default update policy enforces an update. But: the daily synced dependency artifacts are release artifacts, in the declaration form of:
> {code}
> <dependency>
>     <groupId>com.this</groupId>
>     <artifactId>com.that</artifactId>
>     <version>[1.0.0,1.0.1)</version>
>     <type>jar</type>
> </dependency>
> {code}
> So looks like the daily roundtrips are performed since there are version ranges defined?! Since there are hundreds of dependencies, this takes a pretty long time, and nothing did change, operationally, because I've already downloaded all required dependencies.
> Please suppress these daily roundtrips of downloading  *maven-metadata.xml*, for that use case, in general a check for new updates should be applied of cause (thus just using the offline mode is not a solution).
