At my company we're upgrading to a new version of Scala but when I run mvn clean install, near the end of the build, it spends 22 minutes (!) trying to download metadata about these 3rd party dependencies from our company's Nexus (all the Cats libraries: cats-core, cats-macros, etc.). This dep, nor any of our 3rd party deps are "SNAPSHOT" version. Using mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose I can see some transitive dependencies have a version range [2,3) but in our pom.xml file we explicitly set the version as 2.0.0 and do not have the word "SNAPSHOT", as shown:
<dependency><groupId>org.typelevel</groupId><artifactId>cats-core_2.13</artifactId><version>2.0.0</version></dependency>
And yet during the build it tries to download hundreds of these versions between 2 and 3.
Why on earth is it doing it? What even are these SNAPSHOT versions? They don't seem to exist in Maven Central as far as I know. Nothing in our repo or any of the parent/child pom.xml files uses the word SNAPSHOT
