Stephen Connolly commented on MNG-5185:
---------------------------------------
Your corporate repository has an ID, so when off-VPN you would just go
{code}
-Dmaven.repository.offline.corp-mirror
{code}
And then all your corporate artifacts will not be attempted to re-download...
oh that repo is missing... oh fail the build.
-Dmaven.legacyLocalRepository is just a hack on top of a hack, what I am
pointing is a solution to the first hack that removes the need for the second.
> Improve "missing dependency" error message when _maven.repositories contains
> other repository ids than requested

> Based on a discussion on the users list [1], Maven 3 has changed how it
> resolves artifacts from remote repositories. Unfortunately, when "conflicts"
> arise ( GAV is cached in local repo, but POM has no matching repository id
> declared ), Maven just tells the user that the artifact could not be resolved.
> This leads to confusion from users who find the .jar files in their local
> repository, and they just get frustrated and complain that "maven sucks".
> It would be good if Maven was updated with some improved error messages along
> the lines of:
> "The {GAV} artifact was found in your local repository, but came from the
> undeclared repository "xxx", either configure this in your pom with {insert
> sample XML block in error message}, or in your "yyy" mirror."
> The "mirror" section of the error message should be included -if- the current
> ~/.m2/settings.xml declares a mirror. By improving the messages here we can
> help the users move on to building software, rather than pulling out their
> hair :)
