How do we purge/clean the Maven repositories?

[Adam Pryce]

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Configuring repository isolation for Maven executables

We would like to purge the maven repositories after each build. Even when we have separate repos per agent we still find that we can get mixed up SNAPSHOTS. We would like every build to reload the snapshots from our Nexus server.

Hi there,

You can add -U to the Maven command line to force updating snapshots. If you use Maven build task add -U to the goal parameter:

clean install -U

To completely clean the local cache you can use the following goal:

dependency:purge-local-repository clean install

Cheers!
