For some reason, the “last” tag in maven-metadata.xml files stops updating when new versions of the corresponding artifacts are deployed. After searching all the internet, all I found was a lot of people who say that Maven creates / updates this file when it launches the deployment plugin, but if it is true, it seems that my maven builds have stopped for some reason update the last tag. Do I need to force maven to update the tag during build / deployment?
During my build, I see these messages, which clearly indicates that it is loading maven-metadata.xml, I assume that I am updating it, and then uploading it back to the server:
