Hi folks!
In general I prefer to 'disable the maven.central in the pom itself be just
turning it off:
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<!-- we force maven to use our company repo this way! -->
<id>central</id>
<name>apache maven.central repository</name>
<url>http://invalid.com</url>
<!-- disable the maven.central repo -->
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
</pluginRepository>
....
<repositories>
<repository>
<!-- we force maven to use our company repo this way! -->
<id>central</id>
<name>apache maven.central repository</name>
<url>http://invalid.com</url>
<!-- disable the maven.central repo -->
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>
...
The trick is that 'central' is the fixed ID of the maven central repository
[1]. By overwriting it in your own parent pom, you will not use the central
repository anymore and all request will get routed via your company repo
manager.
Any all you need is a bit of code in your pom - no ugly touching the global
settings.xml anymore.
