Currently the check for updatable modules takes a huge amount of time. It seems as if the module does not only check the direct project dependencies but also the indirect dependencies - which does not really make sense (in most of the scenarios).
I did not find an option to just check the packages listed in the pom - but not the indirect dependencies of these packages.
Is there such an option?
You are probably not talking about transitive (indirect) dependencies, but about the entries of
<dependencyManagement>.You can deactivate the search there by setting
processDependencyManagementtofalse.
