Hi folks!
With the new apache parent, we also got a new snapshots repository. We now face
the problem to have 2 apache-snapshots repositories which will not work without
overriding the maven metainfo of each other.
To work around those weird problems I usually have the following entry in my
~/.m2/settings.xml:
<mirrors>
<mirror>
<id>new.apache.snapshots</id>
<name>new apache snapshots repository. We need this to skip the old
ones</name>
<url>http://repository.apache.org/snapshots</url>
<mirrorOf>apache.snapshots</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
</mirrors>
We should move over to the new snapshost-repo and then drop the old one
completely. This will work as long as no pom is referenced which virulently
pulls in the old snapshots repo.
LieGrue,
strub
