title: Clearing Grails Dependency Cache
body: <p>I run into some problems when trying to solve a problem I had with SNAPSHOT maven dependencies <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1867064/grails-and-local-maven-dependencies">(see here)</a>. </p>
  
  <p>When running <code>grails dependency-report</code>, cached dependencies get listed, more or less like this:</p>
  
  <p><code>
  acme-adapter-api by com.acme<br>
  108 kB (0 kB downloaded, 108 kB in cache)
  </code></p>
  
  <p>As <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1867064/grails-and-local-maven-dependencies/1867755#1867755">this</a> answer suggests, you can run into trouble when updating dependencies without increasing the release number, cause the cache is not emptied and SNAPSHOT dependencies don't get refetched, as one would expect. </p>
  
  <p>I looked all over the place, also in the <code>%HOME%\.grails</code> directory and under the bed ;-) but could not find anything looking like a cache. </p>
  
  <p>Where is it, so I can delete it manually? Or even better, how can I get <code>grails compile</code> to clean it forcefully?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!<br>
  Raoul </p>
  
  <p>P.S: I'm using <strong>Grails 1.2M4</strong></p>
