> m2 is just a cache, it has pretty much zero impact on whether your stuff will build

Well… the cache can be broken. I’m not a Java dev so have no horse in this race but “it’s just a cache” doesn’t mean “it can’t ever be a problem”



Having worked with maven for about 15 years… it’s largely not a problem anymore. Unless you publish snapshots and depend on them.


If “it’s just a cache,” you should never be able to fix a build problem by nuking your cache. But I frequently can.


Might want to enable strict checksumming on. I think that’s still a thing. Or are you depending on release artifacts that change?
