Brett Porter commented on MDEP-141:
-----------------------------------

is that really the role of the dependency plugin?

btw, to alleviate this in the future I've proposed this feature: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Local+repository+separation

> Occasionally we find that we need to clear out our local repository; seems like nobody ever knows why, but in chatting with people I understand that it's not unheard of.  I presume that the evil here is in SNAPSHOT versions present on some people's machines and not others.
> It would be nice if there were some way to use purge-local-repository to knock out all SNAPSHOT versions for everything, rather than having to re-download released artifacts as well as SNAPSHOTs.
