Finding missing Maven artifacts

Question

I\'m new to Maven, and struggling with adding dependencies. I\'m trying to convert an existing project to Maven, and after adding the dependencies for all the jars in my ref

Your problem might be something to do with MNG-4142. This bug means that maven will not download a new snapshot if localCopy is set to true in the artifact maven-metadata-local.xml.

Note that the title of this bug is slightly misleading so it is work reading the comments.

You might think that using the -U flag with maven would fix this problem but apparently this is not the case.

The current workaround seems to be searching for all instances of maven-metadata-local.xml and changing the value of localCopy to false.
