Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-15332:
----------------------------------------

> Yes, that saves time for the download but not for unzipping of the runtime.
If one is using the unpack mojo of maven-depedency-plugin or the wget mojo or download-maven-plugin with unpack param set to true, then the fetch and unzip are part of the same mojo, and skipping fetch also skip unzip.
Do you have an example of bundles where skipping download doesn't skip unpack?

> 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 ?
