> Once all dependencies can be resolved from the local repository, maven still continues to download the maven-metadata.xml. It's not done always, but my expectation is:
> As long all dependencies can be resolved from the local repository, maven must not attempt to download anything. 
> Addition:
> If the maven-metadata.xml in the local repository is missing, but the artifact exists, maven should create a local maven-metadata.xml without downloading anything.
