MDEP: purge-local-repository -DreResolve=false still downloads dependencies #131

Open mkarg opened 7 years ago

mkarg commented 7 years ago

The documentation of MDEP's purge-local-repository says that -DreResolve=false prevents resolution after puring. Typically a reader would deduce that no downloads will be executed, as local purging does not need it, and re-resolution is switched off.

Actually, when there is a POM, the command line invocation of purge-local-repository -DreResolve=false DOES do downloads.

Either this is a bug, or the documentation should tell what these downloads actually are.

if you aren't using -DactTransitively=false, it will need to download the dependencies' POMs to know what their dependencies are.
