Artifactory maven virtual repository 404s

Question

I am trying to use a maven virtual repository that is linked up to an SBT local repository to resolve dependencies, but I keep getting 404s when I try to download the artifacts. They are listed fine on the UI, but right clicking on the artifacts and hitting "Download" give me a 404 error. Has anyone run into this problem. We're using JFrogs cloud hosted version of Artifactory on AWS. Our virtual Gradle repository is setup the same way and works as expected ...

mvn install output:

Answer 1

It seems that there are differences between snapshot policies between your local repositories referenced from the virtual one.
