maven-distinct-local-repository
This Maven extension aims to separate SNAPSHOTs and RELEASEs artifacts and metadata in local repository.
For example, if your local Maven repository is located at ~/.m2/repository
:
- SNAPSHOTs will be written at
~/.m2/repository/snapshots
, - RELEASEs will be written at
~/.m2/repository/releases
It is handy to manage a cache only for released artifacts (on your CI server...) or to just delete all your SNAPSHOTs
at once.
Installation
Get maven-distinct-local-repository and copy it in %M2_HOME%/lib/ext
folder (where %M2_HOME
targets your local Maven installation).
or
Use the new core extensions configuration mechanism by creating a ${maven.multiModuleProjectDirectory}/.mvn/extensions.xml
file with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<extensions>
<extension>
<groupId>fr.jcgay.maven.extension</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-distinct-local-repository</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</extension>
</extensions>
Usage
Run your build using property distinct.local.repository=true
:

Dependencies will be automatically resolved/stored in distinct folders from/in your local Maven repository.
