Description

The presence of a .M2 directory causes an application deployed on Karaf not to update.

Prerequisites:
A) Deploy an application on Karaf
B) Verify there is the presence of an .M2 directory

Steps to Reproduce:
Deploy a revised application build on Karaf

Actual Result:
The bits from the local .M2 repo are kept and not overwritten with the newest modified bits

Expected Result:
The bits from the local .M2 repo should be updated even if the .M2 directory was present prior to installing the updated app deployed on Karaf

Workaround:
1.Delete the .M2 directory
2.Deploy the software on Karaf
3.The local .M2 directory will now be updated
