[m2e-users] m2e update dependencies much slower than mvn -U

[Paull M <paullus325@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have a project with a lot of snapshot dependencies (about 50) and all of the are published in local nexus repository. When I'm building project with 'maven compile -U' it takes about one minute. But when I'm using m2e Maven->Update project->Update snapshots it takes 5~10 minutes. It reproducible on different versions of eclipse ( 3.7,3.8,4.3) and m3e (1.4,1.5).

Any ideas ?

As I see m2e uses different way to update dependencies as maven itself. Netty and aether may be i need to tweak them ?
