             Summary: why are skipRequirements controlling download of normal maven dependencies ?
                 Key: JBIDE-15332
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15332
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Build/Releng
            Reporter: Max Rydahl Andersen
            Assignee: Mickael Istria


I stumbled on [~dgolovin]'s patch for livreload at https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-livereload/pull/54/files

This is not the first time i've seen skip having to be enabled for plain normal mvn dependencies.

skipRequirements are supposed to only cover big downloads (like EAP, jboss etc.) - things done via non-maven download mechanism.

Why is this applied to mvn dependency downloads ? 

The culprit for needing this line is at:
https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-build/blob/master/parent/pom.xml#L397

and a bugzilla (*not* jira?!) is referenced as the reason for this back in 2012: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-build/commit/2e18baaf88e0cd73b3b99885658e00789e8fd198

I understand why the explicit google download plugin (why is there two versions used btw?) but why is skipTests controlling normal mvn dependency download ? Which requirements are using this for download ?
