While climbing the learning curve a bit more on Jenkins, I saw in the configuration in the advance build options, the ability to use a "private Maven repository". The help for this suggested "When using this option, consider setting up a Maven artifact manager so that you don't have to hit remote Maven repositories too often."
We have a repository in our infrastructure that mirrors Maven Central - the repository.apache.org machine. Is that set up as a mirror for our Jenkins maven builds, when the Jenkins configuration for settings file is set to "Use default maven settings"? I see there is also a choice for settings file which is "provided settings.xml" which, in turn, gives 2 sub-choices: * archiva-deploy-snapshots-settings and * simple-deploy-settings-no-mirror Is the first one of these the same as "Use default maven settings"? If this is all documented somewhere for our installation, can you point me to that? Thanks, and apologies for the many questions! -Marshall Schor
