configure a repository as the 'preferred' download location for certain
artifactIds or groupIds
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2608
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2608
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Jorg Heymans
ivy has this feature where you can tell it where an artifact is located. During
dependency resolution, this avoids a lot of unnecessary http lookups to the
configured repositories while searching for the artifact because it will go
straight to the correct one.
in pom speak:
<repository>
<releases>
<enabled/>
<updatePolicy/>
<checksumPolicy/>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled/>
<updatePolicy/>
<checksumPolicy/>
</snapshots>
<id/>
<name/>
<url/>
<layout/>
<preferredFor>
<groupId>org.apache.cocoon</groupId>
<artifactId>my.special.artifact</artifactId>
</preferredFor>
</repository>
If the groupid or artifactid was not found on the 'preferred' server then you
could still try and contact the other configured repositories ofcourse.
As an example: output of artifact resolution in cocoon while looking for an
updated snapshot
