Description

If a repository is defined like:

<repositories>
<repository>
<id>...</id>
<name>...</name>
<url>....</url>
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</releases>
</repository>
</repositories>

Then the following call chain results with no versions being resolved from this repository

We ask the ArtifactMetadataSource to give us a list of available versions... that is this method:

http://maven.apache.org/ref/current/xref/org/apache/maven/project/artifact/MavenMetadataSource.html#495

This method creates a RepositoryMetadata object of type:

http://maven.apache.org/ref/current/xref/org/apache/maven/artifact/repository/metadata/ArtifactRepositoryMetadata.html#31

This metadata object is passed to the RepositoryMetadataManager:

http://maven.apache.org/ref/current/xref/org/apache/maven/artifact/repository/metadata/DefaultRepositoryMetadataManager.html#58

Which asks the RepositoryMetadata object if it is a snapshot...

http://maven.apache.org/ref/current/xref/org/apache/maven/artifact/repository/metadata/DefaultRepositoryMetadataManager.html#69

but our metadata object can never be a snapshot:

http://maven.apache.org/ref/current/xref/org/apache/maven/artifact/repository/metadata/ArtifactRepositoryMetadata.html#81

So the end result is that we never look in non-release repositories...

To verify, run the attached test case like so

mvn clean verify -Dusernum=2

This will fail as the repository is disabled for releases, while

mvn clean verify -Dusernum=3

Will pass, the only change being that the remote repository is now enabled for releases
