I actually looked quickly into this last week when I noticed the problem as well as part of the Docker setup. The problem is that the current helper does not parse the content of the file. It is purely based on the file/directory structure. So, one would also need to parse the file itself as YAML and extract the 'release' property. Probably not hard. Maybe I can have another look. The other option is of course a different cache directory. The files are already cached and no download occurs if the pom can be found in the local cache. The problem is the files are cached in the general awestruct _tmp directory which we delete on 'clean'. By just changing this cache dir to a another project relative or even user specific location we would skip the problem as well. On the down-side we might miss out on "true" clean which removes all temporary data. This could become an issue, if for example a corrupted pom gets into the cache.
