Grails and Local Maven Dependencies

Question

I\'m developing a small web frontend in Grails. It is basically a \"ultra light-weight\" client app that is connected async through JMS.

I have two dependencies in t

Answer 1

It turned out that the problem was then non empty cache for the artifact. While the activemq jar file was untouched, the acme-adapter-api.jar was in fact many times changed but without increasing the maven build id, 1.3, in the above case.

I could fix it, when I increased the build number to 1.4-SNAPSHOT...

Two question remain:

1. Isn't the maven contract to always fetch SNAPSHOT versions, for the exact same reason?
2. How to forcefully empty the cache? And where is it?

I will open a new question to answer part 2 here

Answer 2

Grails 1.3.6 has been updated with Ivy 2.2 (which indicated that it applied a fix for https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-938) and I can get updates to SNAPSHOT versions if I specify "changing = true", as in:

dependencies {
  runtime ('groupId:artifactId:version-SNAPSHOT') {
    changing = true
  }
}
