Avoid caching

[manue...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Right now the plugin is caching the file I am downloading, getting it from my .m2 folder. Does anyone know how to avoid this? I need to download the file everytime I run maven because the file may change.

Thanks in advance.

Caching is one of the key features of this maven-download-plugin, there's currently now way to disable it, but feel free to create a pull request if you want it to change.
If you just want to make a simple get without cache, md5 checks or anything, you might simply be able to use this plugin: http://mojo.codehaus.org/wagon-maven-plugin/download-single-mojo.html
