Why does Maven want to download _all_ versions of Groovy?

In the POM for my project I've put the following dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
    <artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
    <version>1.8.6</version>
</dependency>

And the following compiler plugin:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.4</version>
    <configuration>
        <compilerId>groovy-eclipse-compiler</compilerId>
        <verbose>true</verbose>
    </configuration>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
            <artifactId>groovy-eclipse-compiler</artifactId>
            <version>2.6.0-01</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</plugin>

So I would expect that Maven downloads the 1.8.6 jar of Groovy, but instead it seems like it tries to download every jar ever published!

[WARNING] The POM for org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:jar:1.7-rc-2-SNAPSHOT is missing, no dependency information available

What is causing this strange behavior?

See: groovy-eclipse-compiler-2.6.0-01.pom

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
    <artifactId>groovy-eclipse-batch</artifactId>
 <version>[1.7.10-02,1.7.10-99],[1.8.2-01,1.9.0)</version> 
</dependency>

It needs all versions. Add

<repository>
      <id>codehaus-snapshots</id>
      <name>Codehaus Snapshots</name>
      <url>http://nexus.codehaus.org/snapshots/</url>
      <releases>
        <enabled>false</enabled>
       </releases>
       <snapshots>
         <enabled>true</enabled>
      </snapshots>
</repository>

to your pom if you need snapshots.

I faced this same issue and resolved it with the following:

<repository>
  <id>Codehaus.Snapshots</id>
  <url>http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org</url>
  <snapshots>
    <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
    <enabled>false</enabled>
  </snapshots>
</repository>
