Description

am having troubles with
mvn ... -o
(with maven 2.0.7)

says not able to download (but, really, the file is in my local repo)
The dependency is a -SNAPSHOT (for what's worth)

Luckily, when traveling by train, I had maven 2.0.4 on my box as well.
A change to use 2.0.4 works fine.

So, is this an already know bug in 2.0.7 ?
To my understanding it is a bug, since offline just shouldn't try to get a newer
SNAPSHOT, perhaps I am wrong.

I know that relying on SNAPSHOTs can be dangerous, but from -o I would expect
just not checking for new stuff.

and... for some reasons, sometimes,
it just downloads a new SNAPSHOT.

That is a pain, when you are "maintaining" the same snapshot on your
box, but the build just goes ahead and actually downloads a version.
