Maven: How to clean your local repository

How many times we delete all ~/.m2/repository and re-download every artifact running mvn package for each project we have in the system? I've done a little script to check every artifact in local maven repository that removes every artifact with wrong MD5 or SHA or without any of them. Run this check-maven-repository.sh script in your shell typing './check-maven-repository.sh' command. Note: I'm not responsible of any problem deriving from the execution of this script.

Why CoDeGeneration?

I was born at the end of 20th century and all the people born in that period are part of the code generation.
Year after year new developers were born and a lot of these create random like code without experience or for time reasons. So everyone, me included, becomes part of a co-degeneration.
This blog was born for two reasons: the first is to help developers to do things better and the latter to improve my knowledge through your comments.
