[jira] (MANTTASKS-234) artifact:dependencies does not download latest version SNAPSHOT dependency if already present locally

["Thomas Pasch (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MANTTASKS-234?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=325529#comment-325529 ] 

Thomas Pasch commented on MANTTASKS-234:
----------------------------------------

This is a little different from my own findings in MANTTASKS-237, where I concluded that more recent SNAPSHOT builds in cache are _never_ considered.

However, I would agree that there is something wrong with <artifact:dependencies>...

> We are using <artifact:dependencies> to trigger download of an artifact from a remote repo to the local repo. When the dependency is a SNAPSHOT dependency, it only seems to check that the dependency exists in the local repo, it does not check that there is a more recent snapshot in the remote repo. So the snapshot artifact does not get updated with the latest version. 
> My workaround is to call this artifact:dependencies, delete the artifact that is referred to in the property that gets set by this task, and then call artifact:dependencies again to ensure that we have the correct version.
