When building the AS trunk, i usually see numerous snapshots being downloded. This seems to happen (atleast) once a day. For example, this morning when i triggered a build on the "testsuite" module of AS trunk:
 
..testsuite$] ./build.sh clean jars

 
I see a whole lot of snapshots being downloaded:

This snapshot download lasts anywhere between 15-20 minutes (and sometimes even half an hour) on my system. Is there any way this can be avoided?
 
By the way, my understanding was that the AS doesn't depend on any snapshot dependencies. So why are these being downloaded in first place?
