How can I prevent Maven from loading maven-metadata.xml for an artifact I already have in my repo?

I'm using Maven 3.2. I have this dependency in my pom.xml file (WAR project)

            <dependency>
                    <groupId>joda-time</groupId>
                    <artifactId>joda-time</artifactId>
                    <version>1.6.2</version>
                    <scope>provided</scope>
            </dependency>

Whenever I run any phase for my pom (like "mvn install") the application always tries to load some metadata about the dependency ...

Downloading: http://repo.spring.io/milestone/joda-time/joda-time/maven-metadata.xml

How do I tell Maven to stop doing this? I already have an artifact cached in my local Maven repository.

Thanks - Dave

Perhaps upgrade policies need to be specified explicitly. See this answer: Why does Maven load maven-metadata.xml every time?

<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
    <id>central</id>
    <url>http://gotoNexus</url>
    <snapshots>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
        <updatePolicy>daily</updatePolicy>
    </snapshots>
    <releases>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
        <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
    </releases>
</pluginRepository>

This means that somewhere in your dependency tree, either SNAPSHOT or a version range (direct or transitive dependency) is used. For both cases, the solution is the same: lock the version to a specific version. Did you block it as a direct dependency or inside a dependencyManagement?
