Enabling 'Use private Maven repository' option in a pre-build maven step does not seem to work. Jenkins does not seem to save that setting. Every time i turn on the option, click on save and then return back to the configuration page for the job, the option is unchecked! It only seems to save that setting in the "build" step. I do have the Maven Local repository option set to "Local to the workspace" in the maven project configuration setting. What am i doing wrong?
