Hello; I'm putting together a client, I guess, of the Maven Artifact Resolver APIs (https://maven.apache.org/resolver/maven-resolver-api/).
I am trying to make my client be as Maven-like as possible. So I'm using, among other things, MavenRepositorySystemUtils. I can, of course, go into more details if needed; this is intended to be a shorthand that says I mostly know what I'm doing. :-) (Another way to put this is I am following recipes you can find here ( https://github.com/eclipse/aether-demo/tree/master/aether-demo-snippets/src/main/java/org/eclipse/aether/examples), bearing in mind that Aether has of course become maven-resolver <https://lairdnelson.wordpress.com/2017/03/06/maven-and-the-project-formerly-known-as-aether/>, so obviously there are a few tweaks here and there.) I understand most of this, but is there a component I can use that includes the automagic usage of mirrors etc. from a Maven ~/.m2/settings.xml file? My sense is if I just do: final LocalRepository localRepository = new LocalRepository("target/local-repository"); final LocalRepositoryManager localRepositoryManager = repositorySystem.newLocalRepositoryManager(repositorySystemSession, localRepository); repositorySystemSession.setLocalRepositoryManager(localRepositoryManager); …and: final RemoteRepository mavenCentral = new RemoteRepository.Builder("central", "default", " http://central.maven.org/maven2/";).build(); // now use this and localRepository in a CollectRequest or the like …I'm not getting the (useful) magic of a Maven settings.xml file. I wouldn't really expect to, either, since this is just usage of the project-formerly-known-as-Aether, not some deep Maven integration. What is the recipe to include this as well? I had a brief look in Maven core—think an explorer encountering a dark ominous cave with a flaming torch running out of fuel, backing away slowly—but wasn't sure where to look. Best, Laird
