Michael Osipov commented on MNG-6763:
-------------------------------------

I have experienced this myself at work where I have setup a business unit 
hosted repo with group id partitioning. I.e., you can acess only parts of it 
and you know upfront that !com/company/ will not in this repo. I like to 
explore possible solutions to this, but first I don't want to conflate with 
availability of snapshots because this isn't really related to me here.
So, repositories in settings and POM and structurally identical (as [~jfallows] 
has pointed out), I will treat them as such in this discussion. Could something 
like {{maven-common-artifact-filters}} be utilized by Maven Core/Resolver like 
many other plugins do? When resolver iterates oder the download requests I 
would apply the filter to find out whether this repo is eligible for download. 
WDYT?

What would be your ideas from a configuration point of view?

> It should be possible to restrict the repositories specified in settings.xml 
> to specific groupIds. Looking at 
> [https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.6.2/maven-settings/settings.html#class_repository],
>  it seems this is currently not the case.
> Background: We use Nexus to host our own artifacts. The settings.xml contains 
> our Nexus repository with <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy> because 
> sometimes a project is built while a dependency is not yet in our Nexus repo 
> – without updatePolicy, it would take 24 hours or manual deletion of metadata 
> to make Maven re-check for the missing dependency.
> Additionally, we use versions-maven-plugin:2.7:display-dependency-updates in 
> our build process.
> This results in lots of queries (more than 300 in a simple Dropwizard 
> project) to our repo which will never succeed. If we could specify that our 
> repo only supplies groupIds beginning with org.example, Maven could skip 
> update checks for groupIds starting with com.fasterxml.jackson and so on, 
> speeding up the build process.
