When I define an updatePolicy in my maven settings it tells maven how often snapshot artifacts shall be downloaded.
If I set it to always it of course downloads every time all snapshots.
I was wondering what happens if I set it to the default value daily or another longer peroid.
Does maven still check whether a new version of the snapshot is available and if so, does it download it although the policy says daily ?
I'm looking for the correct settings to avoid redundant downloads and not to miss a newer snapshot out there.
