Is there a flag for clj to force a refresh from the Maven repos, similar to the -U flag on lein?

currently, no

there is an outstanding ticket for this

one option is to wipe the portion of your ~/.m2/repository as that's where the cache of update times is held

I'd recommend being as selective as possible in deleting parts of ~/.m2/repository

I did work around this with the 'mv /.m2 /.m2.to-be-removed' nuclear option. I'll try to find that ticket and upvote it.

Found it - TDEPS-62

(not sure if it makes sense to upvote in the old Jira)

well it won't hurt, but also it won't help :)

it's ok, I am aware of the issue and have a plan for it :)

Thanks Alex.
