In our corporate global settings file, we have:
<mirror>
<id>Nexus</id>
<name>Nexus Mirror</name>
<url>http://maven.basistech.net/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
<mirrorOf>*,!apache.org,!sonar,!apache.snapshots</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
That * turns out to be a very bad idea, and I'd like some advice in
fixing maven to make it a less bad idea.
Using m3, there are absolutely no logging messages about mirrors. So,
the following happens:
1) I create a new repo on my local repo manager.
2) I forget to add it to this list with ,!whatever
3) I try to use it.
What i get is error messages telling me that the item can't be found
in the mirror URL, but no log messages of the form: 'mapping repo X to
mirror Y'. So I spent quite some time spinning my wheels before
realizing what was going on. And, once I have this mistake in place, I
can't override it in the local pom, since mirrors can't be in there.
A little logging would go a long way here. Can anyone point me at
which piece of the universe actually implements this so I can open a
JIRA and add a few log messages?
