Re: [tycho-user] tycho 0.11.0 always downloading content.xml and artifac

[Igor Fedorenko <ifedorenko@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tycho is expected to download remote p2 repository metadata once and
then only check for updates (which by itself can take long time, see [1]).

So unless you wipe local maven repository before each build, the
behaviour that you see appears to be a bug.

When version of Nexus is that? Assuming this is Nexus Pro with p2
support, do you know how often it is configured to check for remote p2
metadata updates (the parameter is called "Metadata Max Age" in p2 proxy
repo configuration UI).
