If user wants to use the snapshot artifacts in geronimo repo, could just copy them to override the artifacts in his local maven repo work? If this is not enough, I think set a hudson server in his local machine to build geronimo every night to get the latest maven repo is the right thing to do. Setting geronimo repo as the maven repo would contaminate the our artifacts when user build his project, which might bring some difficulties to identify the causes when help user analysis his problems. We definitely hope user always has a "clean" server when he gets problems.
Anyway, as Forrest said, once there is a newer snapshot in public repo, maven would first try download the latest one, unless user uses the -o option. -Rex 2011/9/21 Jarek Gawor <[email protected]> > Hi, > > I'm curious about using $GERONIMO_HOME/repository as remote Maven > repository.
