Sign to dependencies which is the better repository to search for
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4967
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4967
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Improvement
Environment: All OS, plataforms and hardware
Reporter: Victor Dolirio Ferreira Barbosa
Priority: Critical
I don't know if it was noted by somebody before but I've noted this. In long
term as project is growing to many repositories must be added into the pom. The
problem is raising when Maven download the dependencies. It indeed start a
journey in all declared repositories trying to find the dependency files
(dependency by dependency). This process becomes exponentially expensive as
project grows. My suggestion of improvement is to add a new tag in the
dependency to sign maven what is the first repository to search for the files,
something like this:
<dependency>
<artifactId>...
...
<repository>the-repository-id</repository>
</dependency>
I really would like that this improvement be implemented cause it would reduce
too much time wasted.. Don't matter whether this be implemented in the way I've
suggested or not.
