Sure, we can tie it into the Maven lifecycle in a top-level parent 
somewhere.  Problem is, I often get errors on the purge-local-repository 
task during re-resolution (try this on EJB3 Aggregator trunk/pom.xml). 
To avoid this I have to set -DreResolve=false.

However, if we make it a default, now we've got builds that'll take 
forever.  Pretty useful as routine maintenance, but really 
time-consuming as a default.

Yeah, I have this problem too, makes debugging difficult.  I imagine 
this can be addressed somehow, just haven't found the solution yet.
