The "-U" option will check for the updated releases and SNAPSHOTs
artifacts on the remote repositories. This will take a long time,
since the GlassFish references 8 remote repositories (we use Nexus as
the proxy server so there is one reference point in the pom) and maven
communicates to these repositories to search for the updated artifacts.
If you have one successful build which means your local Maven repository
(by default it's <uesr-home>/.m2/repository) is populated with the
artifacts referenced in GlassFish v3 workspace, then you don't need to
use "-U".
Also, once you have a successful build, you can build selected modules
in the v3 directory by using the "-pl or --projects" option.
e.g.
mvn -Dmaven.repo.local=/export/GlassFish/Apr20/repository -pl
admin,common install

From the GlassFish installation in "modules" folder, you can create
symlinks to the maven artifact in the target folder.
The other option is to modify the pom file and change the default target
directory to the GlassFish module directory but I don't advice doing
this since poms are part of the build and under source control, so it
can be accidentally committed.
Thanks,
