Description

it's probably not too heavy to touch some metadata (or update a single file in the repository) for each dependency that is used (not downloaded, but actually used). It would only be needed once per dep per session.

With that information, a tool could easily remove files from the local repository not used in X days so they can be downloaded again later.

I believe that we need a goal to remove jar from local
repository and also for Maven-Proxy repository

yes, for SNAPSHOT , I do find that some release plugins that are having
dependencies on SNAPSHOT version , and very often that SNAPSHOT may
be broken or no longer exist!
