How can Maven be configured to manually refresh dependencies?
To manually refresh Maven dependencies, you can follow these steps:
- Open the command line or terminal window in the root directory of the Maven project.
- Run the following command to clean up old dependencies from previous builds:
mvn clean
- Run the following command to redownload and update dependencies:
mvn install
- If you only want to refresh specific dependencies, you can use the following command:
mvn dependency:purge-local-repository
This command will remove all dependencies from the local repository and then re-download them on the next build.
This way, you can manually refresh Maven dependencies. Please note that these commands may take some time to complete, depending on the size of the project and network speed.
